Caption Contest: What Is Betsy Thinking?
This photo was shot at the Social Media Institute hosted two weeks ago at National Louis University in partnership with the Center for Teaching Through Children’s Books and SCBWI. It shows me sitting between the illustrious Mike Lewis (he of the oddly fuzzy tie) and the incomparable Colby Sharp.
So the question before you is this: What am I thinking?
It’s a caption contest, folks. Go!

Betsy: I wonder if I can get Mike Lewis’s #fuzzytie trending on Twitter. Yes, I think I can.
It’s a specialty dancing tie. It just moves to fast to be caught with the human eye.
“Who are these people? What am I doing here? Never mind, Senior Moment.”
“A place where there isn’t any trouble. Do you think there is such a place, Toto?”
“I should buy a boat.”
(yes, I know that’s from a popular internet meme, but it is a panel on social media)
Did I leave the oven on?
Those curtains have pizzazz.
“If I concentrate long enough, I’ll visualize the Newbery and Caldecott winners for the next 25 years. Then I make a few bets and my kids’ college funds are in the bank.”
