Lost in Translation

Needs a translator for my boys soccer team... Todays mishap was when I yelled to Gustavo to push up and he dropped and gave me 20 (I wish he was being sarcastic... :-) Last week when the boys learned that Mikael was a twin one asked him, "Seriously, you have a twin brother, what grade is he in???"

Classic Rock

Told a student that I like classic rock today and she said, "Oh like Bon Jovi?" Seriously, when did I get this old?

Name Origins

Oh the silly things kids say! Today in class we're discussing our homework, "What's in a name," and we get to the question about the origin of our name. So typical answers were Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. But THEN we hear in all sincerity, "My name is Rodney and I do believe the origin of my name is Texas." Ahh, I love my job!

Outfit Pop

So I wore these cute red heels to school today with my black and white dress, but they killed my feet so I changed into more practical mary jane black shoes. In walks one of my lovely 7th grade girls who immediately comments, "Ugh, you changed your shoes, the red shoes totally made your outfit pop, but with those ones, it's just like blah..." Since when did middle school become project runway???
