I have to give two tests today, which means spending almost two hours with each class. It's way too long, but I'd like to get started already! Still have a half-hour to kill.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I burned the bit of gum right behind my two front teeth and it still hurts. This is getting old. I am cranky. I have meetings.

Good luck, Emily.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I would think it'd be more fun to give a test than take one. If the kids are nervous about the test, you could set things up so the Emperor's March (from Star Wars) plays when you walk into the classroom....

brenda recalls correctly, I am a peanut butter/chocolate heretic. I will admit that I will eat the combo occasionally. (I tried Suzi's peanut butter/chocolate kiss cookies at Nicole's, they were very good!) I think it's just that I got burned out by it as a kid. Reese's peanut butter cups were my guilty pleasure until I was about 25. That's also the point in time when I started liking beer. It hasn't been a bad trade-off.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The Spare Cat is more properly the Temporary Foster Cat -- my Mom's BFF is in a cast for at least the next six weeks if not longer, and the cat thinks the best most fun thing in the world is to escape from her one bedroom apartment, or lie down in the path of her power chair, or knock down all the ornaments from the etagere, et cetera et cetera.
So I brought her home for a couple months until Mom's BF is literally on her feet again....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Spare Cat
She's a pretty girl, and must be traumatized by all the crazy change lately -- I hope she settles in soon.

When I lived in Australia, the kids thought PBJs were PBJello sandwiches. No wonder they all thought AMericans were nusto for eating them.
