Such Crust!

Today I went to see Mrs. Garvey.  We had a lovely lunch together, talking about numerous things, particularly the school.  Her daughter, Ann, joined us, and along with her caretaker, Shelli, we shared numerous stories.

One of Mrs. Garvey's sayings was the topic of a portion of our conversation.  Mrs. Garvey was well known for holding her tongue and refraining from making negative statements about people.  Ann said that rather than swear, she would say, "Oh, bad word."  I had never heard her say that, but I did recall that numerous times when she was particularly upset with someone's behavior, she would say, "Such crust."  The perfect way to express displeasure.  "Such crust!"

Oh that we should all be so classy!
