A new one

Today we had class meetings. All of our meetings are down by the gym which is not near our classrooms. So when the meetings were over we all mob back to the "school" part of our school like a bunch of cattle. I was stuck in the middle of a sea of students. It is at times like that that I am glad I am tall because otherwise I think I would be scared the students would knock me over even though I am a teacher. I like observing the students when they are with their peers because it can sure get me laughing.

But anyways, today I was walking behind this boy observing him and realized he was wearing wranglers. Now don't judge me. I know what you're thinking. I know you recognize wranglers by the butt and yes, that makes me a teacher who happens to be looking at a student's back side but I have a reason I swear! I was just innocently looking around and realized that this kid was sagging his pants quite noticeably. This drives me crazy sometimes so I was thinking about how annoying this was and I wish he would just pull up his pants but then I realized....Sagging Wranglers?!?! I have never heard of or seen such thing! I thought the point of those suckers was that they were tight. I guess this kid is stuck between two worlds and just doesn't know what to do. Hopefully he finds his identity soon so that he doesn't think he needs to how to be a low ridin' cowboy.

What's your name again?

One of my students is the son of another teacher at our school. Today she sent me an email and at the end she wrote this:

I am glad that _______ is comfortable. He said he likes your class and when he couldn't remember your name when he was talking to me, he said is it "you know, Ms. Ligament?" So, if that sometimes slips, that is why.


Hahaha..... that's a new one!

What did you just ask me??

Today was the first day of school. It was long and tiring. And I think it was about 5th hour when... I GOT ASKED TO HOMECOMING! Seriously? I mean I know the kid wasn't serious but really? Why??
