Another random day

Okay, so I am in class, not actually teaching...more like acting as a human sticker dispenser...my latest occupation. As I wander the room, i begin to read some of the paragraphs my 8th graders have written, I can't help but laugh when I read this one....

"This is my pencil. My father gave it to me. It is long. It is hard. I use it everyday. i like it very much."

When I finished the kid smiled at me with a look of pride in his eyes, and i told him the only thing I could think of at that moment. "Kid, your father is probably very very proud of you."

Then the bell rang...I went to lunch only to find that they were serving Mouldy Lima beans today....what the heck? Can you actually eat mouldy beans...are they healthy for you? I am not just talking flecks of mold, that the cook may have missed...I am talking gray/fuzzy/bad smelling beans....it was wierd...it was gross...and all i could think of was my mother saying to me, "Lani if everyone jumps off a bridge, would you jump off the bridge?" The answer to that is...yes, yes I would...cuz i plugged my nose and ate those suckers....and as of now 20 minutes later, I am still standing. But I will keep you posted.
