I knew it! & Funny Jr. High kids.....

Did I call it or did I call it? I saw Bagley's cartoon today and laughed my butt off (if only I could!). Check it out, click HERE and choose the 6/14 cartoon. That's all I'm telling you about it, check it out for yourself.......

I'm in my summer school cooking class at the Junior High today. Two of my old students are in the class, Josh and Joey, and ironically both of them have a sister going into 7th grade next year that are in the class too. (I found that out when one of the 9th grade boys said to one of the 7th grade girls "I know where you sleep!". When I made my prescribed teacher comment on being appropriate he said "it's ok, she's my sister". Whew! Not so creepy that way.) Anyway, we're discussing elementary schools and the girls are telling me that their school moved from an old building to a new building on the same block as the district offices. Josh says something like "yeah, and the funny thing is when they're hanging out at the edge of the playground, they're hanging out on the corner of State Street". Not sure he knew that it meant what I know "The Corner of State Street" means in that neighborhood I look at him and ask "do you mean what I think you mean?" and get that semi-embarassed, semi-prideful, 'please don't make me explain this' look that tells me; yes, he does. Ohkay - moving on .... how about checking the enchiladas..........

Well, considering that Mr. Nobel himself was the inventor of dynamite, that whole "peace prize" thing is rather ironic anyway.

oh, yeah.
Funny junior high kids stuff. You need to read my blog post about the book "Exploits of a Reluctant (but extremely goodlooking) hero" -- and then you probably need to read the book. You know the kid. You've taught the kid. he is 95% of the 8th grade boys out there. You will laugh.
It's not great literature, but that's not the point.
