the warrior child is starting to show signs of being a techie. . .which i think is a good thing. before going to sleep, he is allowed to choose one story (most of which he has memorized so either he reads it or we read it). tonight he chose the humpty dumpty book. . .but then told me it didn't work any more. as i was laughing about this he said very seriously, "it needs to be charged". later he told me that it needed to be charged like my phone and that it would turn red. he's only 2, yet he is hip to the idea of e-books.
next time you see the wife, ask her what a hair-nail is. it is a truly enlightening bit of info.
i love raisins. i love diet coke. i love my wife. . .she told me to type that.
nmiller received a birthday surprise at lunch today. apparently his dad put a wax finger in his chili. the 3rd bite freaked him out. i gotta remember that.
new student teams have been posted in the students section. 7th graders still haven't figured out how the system works. i wonder if they will even figure it out next year. they kept asking for a recount. . .but it was based on their ratings.
a teacher last year told me that my jr. highers acted like 3rd graders. i was reminded of that today when many of my 7th graders were tattling on each other. i even mentioned to them that they were acting like 3rd graders and started to mimic their little voices begging for me to take action against another. so this one kid that isn't paying attention turns around and says the exact thing i had just said in mockery. some of the kids found it amusing. maybe i should teach 3rd grade next year. i already have experience.
more later. . .
peace and java
