sass and sensibility

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

Hispanics and sexy food

Me--driving the 15 passenger van to golf practice.
Favorite Student--sitting shotgun

FS--Look at that Hispanic guy!
Me--I think he's Asian.
FS--No. Anyone who's not American is Hispanic.

Oh. Of course.


Kid who's Obsessed with Charmed--pulls out some of his Easter candy, a pretzel rod dipped in chocolate and covered in M&M's--"Miss Book, look at this! Isn't it sexy?"
Me--"Well...that's probably not the word I would have chosen to describe it..."


Overheard in the cafeteria:
(Today we had shepherd's pie for lunch--which translates into a pan of ground meat/corn/gravy and a pan of mashed potatoes.) "No! This is an insult to shepherds and to pie!"


And today in chemistry...
Girl Who Loves Pinesol--Snail's Pace [the kid who does everything slower than molasses], I'm gonna clobber you!
Me--You'd both better be quiet or I'll clop you in the chops. Hah, that's what my mom used to say...
Pinesol Girl--Tell your mom she's a G.


P.S. If you haven't heard Relient K's new album yet, you should. I am obsessed. I love clever lyrics.

Haha. I love your quotes. I came on here to check your New Orleans pics and saw some stories about your kids. I would concur with Melissa that they are fabuloso. I am giddy with work so I must be going. Luv AliO
