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."

the 8th grade girls entertain yet again...

The other day we were talking about how atoms are the building blocks of matter, and we were comparing them to bricks...

me: What do we use bricks to make?
DP girl: Crack!

Ignoring her, I asked the question again...
DP girl: I live in the projects; we don't have bricks...

Oh geez :-p


Friday was a special day considering that I somehow managed to sleep through my alarm...a LOT...as in I woke up 6 minutes AFTER I was supposed to have been teaching first period. That is not a good way to start your day. I managed to get to class within 10 minutes after throwing on some clothes and pulling back my hair. My appearance didn't pass muster in the 8th grade girls' class however...

"Oh my gosh, Miss Book, you look so...PLAIN!"
"Your hair's in a ponytail!"
"Did you even put any makeup on?"
"You don't even have any earrings!"
"AND you're wearing Mr. McNutt shoes!" (he's the art teacher)
"Miss Book, here, please [digs in her purse], put these on!! [hands me gold hoop earrings]"
"Take your hair down...yeah, that looks much better."

I personally thought it was hilarious, especially considering that I pretty much didn't blow dry my hair OR wear makeup all summer when I taught them for five weeks :-P
