Who knows how far, if at all...
Today is my first day of the semester. I'm frantically getting everything ready.

I was going to wake early for a run but then I didn't sleep enough. If I have time I'll run just before I shower before I leave for class. So much to do... *frets*

I can't believe all of the comments and threads in my last post. Seventy comments has to be some type of record for my journal. I'm highly amused. And yay for friends meeting friends and having fun.

Today, at school, the teacher was going around the class to ask each child for a good class rule.  She wrote them down as they went along. Here's how it went...
Kid 1: No hitting.
Kid 2: And no punching.
Kid 3: No kicking.
T: Except balls. You can kick them outside.
Kid 4: No smacking.
T: stammers for a second or two then in a single breath says:
T: No petting bears, especially polar bears, because they are dangerous and it's not safe, unless you are with someone who studies bears and they shoot it with a dart and it goes to sleep, then you can pet the bear.
*Teacher laughs and writes "No petting polar bears"*
Kid 5: No spitting.
And so on.

I had to suppress my laughter because I was sitting right behind him. J and I shared a hearty laugh when I recounted the story later.

In the second round T said:
And be nice to each other.

Busy, busy day. Off I go.

Heh...he is too cute! I bet it'd be so fun to be a teacher just because of all the fun stuff kids say.

In the first split second after he said it, I had the same reaction. Perhaps I was a sailor too.

laughs..umm I'm right there with you guys.. I think we're just warped and demented that's all... laughs..

That is so cute bd.. I bet M would have said something like that. This is the kid who for years told everyone she met she wanted to be a herpatologist when she grew up.. that started at around 4yrs old.. laughs

Well that's good because apparently we are packing our bags in order to move to Oz.. ok so they want to know if Rose and London can come too? Do they allow imported animals? laughs

Oh she's very intelligent in the best kind of way.. intelligence mixed with humor and common sense. I'm not sure she's brilliant.. but I'd rather be what she is any day of the week.. smiles. She's got great self confidence too.. and a lil bit of an ego too.. laughs.. Not so much so, but she's not totally modest at times. I'd say that is more a by product of her humor than anything else though .. :)

I'd agree with that statement..smiles.. It's one of the good things Shim and I have going for us right Shim? We are genuinely nice people.. Although we both tend to tell it like it is.. and Shim is usually far more blunt about it..while I try to be tactful.. snorts.. That's where we diverge. It makes a nice compliment though.. Shim nails yah with brutatlity while I politely point out the errors of your ways.. *laughs*
