On Behold! The 2011 Nebula Award Winners
@Mame Dennis-Pickett-Burnside @Mame Dennis-Pickett-Burnside I have a liberal arts background and I still had to google "novelette." According to Wikipedia, the novelette is "longer than a short story, but shorter than a novella. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America Nebula awards for science fiction define the novelette as having a word count of between 7,500 and 17,499, inclusive."

On The League of Ordinary Ladies: Short Dates
@hopelessshade In elementary school, I told kids that the hemangioma on my arm was a burn. It was not very believable, especially since it never "healed," but it seemed easier than trying to explain benign tumors, which was a concept I barely understood then, and I was also afraid "hemangioma" sounded too much like "He-Man" and would just be an invitation for mockery. I am all about preemptive self-defense white lies.
