We each got an apple strudel from the PTA this
morning, in our boxes all wrapped up with this label on it. Personally, I’m a little disappointed with myself, because when I innocently read “Here’s a strudel for using your noodle”, and one of the English teachers started laughing, I was totally baffled. It took me a full 30 seconds to get what was so funny to her. When it did dawn on me I walked back into the room and said “Congratulations, in 17 years of teaching you are the first one to beat me to taking something the wrong way.” Maybe not completely 
true, but pretty darn close.

And finally: this box was sitting on the floor right next to the front office. I don’t know about you, but I just hate it when my Diet iCoke goes on the fritz.
