King Kong Anthropology: The Kina Shell Necklace of Papua New Guinea
The super cool history class is now in session.
Good morning, class.
“Good MORNING, Mr. Taylor!”
Settle down quickly, please. I have a special treat for you today…
Hey, this is the first and last time I’m going to ask you to put that comic book away, Mr. Darrell. If I see it poking out from behind your history book again, it’s going right into my personal comic book collection––even though I already have that one; Batman beats Superman down wearing a pair of Kryptonite gloves.
[Youthful laughter]
Now, put it away until recess. Thank you.
All right, class. Today we have a very special treat. As you know, this is the day of the week that we reserve for show-and-tell. And I can already see that those of you whose turn it is this week eagerly await your chance to tell us about the items you’ve brought to share. As usual, I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve brought.
Oh, Mr. Hardeep? Could you put that… Wow, that 1974 vintage Bandai Mechagodzilla figure back in your backpack until it’s your turn to show-and-tell? Thanks.
