We had some visitors in the newsroom this morning — a class of fifth-graders from Milan Middle School in Milan, Mo. While they were learning about how a newspaper works, we asked them a question in advance of Mother's Day: What have you learned from your mother?
The Missourian, KOMU and KBIA are asking that question of the community, as well, and we'd love to have your response.
Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the wisdom and humor of the fifth-graders.
