...God provided the comic relief that I needed. Just when I thought I could not see a light at the end of the educational tunnel, one of my kids (at school-not to be confused with the 2 I gave birth to, although I feel like they are my own :) totally cracked me up, as he often does all of his teachers. This is a pretty big kid, with a love for food. He's not really overweight, just a big guy. If I could connect all the concepts with food, I think we'd have a breakthrough! One of our interns came in, & he wanted to know who she was and could he go to her class because "she's pretty." When the other teacher told him she was taken & had a baby, he replied that he was going to "throw pies at her man." Okay, this may not sound as funny in print, but here's this big kid who looks like he could play linebacker on the high school football team, & the most violent thing he can think to do is throw pies at someone!! Just last week at dismissal, he told us his bus driver "looks like Aunt Jemima....you know Ms. J., the one with the grits and pancakes." The other students were cracking up.
The 80's are so Totally Awesome, Like Gnarly Dude!
...TV Land is showing movies from the 80's that are my all-time faves. Last weekend was The Breakfast Club, and to end my very stressful week, last night was Sixteen Candles and Say Anything... Is there anything better than a great movie & raw cookie dough?? The best thing about the latter movie is "In Your Eyes", the only song that I truly like by Peter Gabriel. Sixteen Candles is probably my favorite of all, that & anything else with Molly Ringwald. She is like the quintessential actress of this era. Like, you know what I'm sayin'? Like I need to quit. Seriously.
Could I have thought of a more corny sub-title? Well, yes! Just ask those who know.

Are they showing DIRTY DANCING any time soon???
During my 1-year stint at a law firm when we first moved here, the girls in my cube--including me--talked about SAY ANYTHING all the time. Well, one day when I was shopping I found a poster that had a pic of the classic "In Your Eyes" scene, complete with the lyrics of the song. I had to get it for our cube decoration. :)
And no, nothing beats a movie and raw cookie dough.
I don't know, but the next time I'm home, I may have to rent it and watch it with Grannie. We still laugh about the "butt" scene...does Darryl know about this?!
This is completely unrelated to your post, but maybe over the summer we can coordinate a time to meet up in our hometown, get the grandparents to babysit our younguns, and go have "girl night" and catch up. :)
That totally had me laughing. Get him to do it, take pictures, and then blog about it. THAT would be funny.
