Owen, you naughty boy. You've gone and given the neighbors a photo opportunity they really didn't want to see. Now you owe your Momma some good behavior in future, or she's gonna have to try that boxing gloves+duct tape idea that your evil Auntie Katie told her about.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

(stage whisper) The big clumsy hands slows 'em down, see. Can't get their clever little fingers under the elastic of the waistband. Shhh. Don't tell him. Let's watch him figger it out.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Again I say, remember the cautionary tale taught by Laura's boys wrt duct tape. IJS.
Even so, Cash, you shoulda took a picture. It could be Owen's, "It was white and square, and looked like a tooth but wasn't, so I swallowed it" ammunition for you in future. Even for private family blackmail.

Given that Halloween is Come-As-You-Aren't night, I think the only logical costume for Jilli is: cheerleader. Oh, HELL yeah.
I had a wonderfully fun "Come As You Aren't" Party one time. That's when Cowgirl!Jesse came to town! And gay Joey, and straight Esti, and my ex and her new gf came as each other (which worked frighteningly well) and I went as butch (this was before the drag thing started)....ah, good times. And Nicky came as a baby pterodactyl born in a watermelon. Um, because.

See, I think I need to be told this story again...

Are you tipsy too? Because your post reads like you're tipsy too.
Kristin! Tell me you've had bad experiences with not having control over your classroom? Please?
Sorry, I was doing a good job of keeping my drukning* rambling in Natter until now. Will try to do so again.

Emily, sweetie, anyone who says they've never had classroom management issues is lying.
Some of it just comes with experience. A lot of it, though, comes with the kids you work with. Either way? Deep breaths. It gets easier.

Emily, I've found a well aimed eraser works wonders on the miscreant's attitude. I don't recommend it in public schools, though.
