Aww Man

My earphones finally broke (they've been threatening to for a while). I don't mind them breaking, I wanted new ones anyway, I just didn't want it to happen while I'm at the library for four hours and I have to hold the end by the port to bring music into both of my ears.

No Worries...

...Your kids are safe with me.

Here’s what went on in my education class today:

The hypothetical scenario: Your student brings a pet bunny stuffed into his backpack to your high school classroom.*

My teacher asked me what I would do.

I said I’d roll with it. I’d use it in my lesson and discipline the student later in private. My teacher then asked how I would use it in my English class and what I would be teaching.

The first thing that popped into my head and out of my mouth?

Of Mice and Men.

You know. The novel about the guy who likes soft things (like bunnies) but inevitably kills everything he touches by snapping their necks?

Good response, no?

You ready to trust me with your kids?


*Or maybe not so hypothetical since this happened at the local high school.
