When Royal Caribbean passenger Mikayla Nogueira posted on her Instagram Story that she loved towel animals, she didn’t think anything would come of it. But upon returning to her cabin, the TikTok star discovered the entirety of her room transformed into a towel animal jungle: a colossal alligator with googly eyes, a silly monkey hanging from a clipped hanger, two saccharine swans, necks bowed together in the shape of a heart.

A few months ago in my adult pre-intermediate class, we started a new chapter in our textbook that was set up around a murder mystery. First, we discussed the vocabulary of crime, handy in all kinds of real-life situations, whether talking about recent shocking occurrences reported on the news, or about a favorite TV detective show, or about how mad you were at your daughter for leaving her wet towel in a heap on the floor. The students practiced the new vocabulary, including burgle and rob, steal and murder. By chance, it was the first day of Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, but we barely touched on that because the new vocabulary wasn’t extensive enough to cover all the crimes Trump was, or could be, accused of.
