What I learned from my students today...

Future occupation choices of my students include: being a pencil sharpener (hoping she means the class job and not the actual object), a shopper at a mall (I'm pretty sure she doesn't mean mystery shopper), a teenager, a dinosaur, a McD*nalds or W*endy's (heaven forbid you be a B*rger K*ing, BTW), a daddy, a barber shop, and a people.
I do agree that being a people is definitely a full time job, but it sure doesn't pay well.
Ways to make your voice get better: Hot chocolate, a back rub, holding my breath, and braiding my hair (I'm guessing that last little girl might be a beauty shop when she grows up?!)




I have hall duty in the morning and "get to" ride a bus in the afternoon as our kids can get a bit, ummm...rowdy. Our bus delivers right across from the house that the swat team surrounded yesterday trying to flush out a suspected killer of a one-year old girl. Everyday when my student's head back home I worry about them for so many reasons...but that's another topic.

So, between Ch*ck E. Ch**se sending the kids off today on the bus ramp (school night tonight), a foul-mouthed fourth grader and hyped up kids crowing about blown out windows I've learned that I might need to start taking Ny*Quil during the day, too. =)
