First of all, I'm TERRIBLE at April Fools. For at least three consecutive years when I was in elementary school, I called my Poppy from the front office "in tears" saying that I needed to be picked up because I had fallen and broken my arm. All three times he fell for it and was NOT amused when I called back five minutes later to yell "April Fools." I'm just not that kind of funny - perserverant (is that a word?), but not funny. So... If you thought my last post was lame, I hope you won't hold it against me.
In other news... I have had a funny day today. Here are four TRUE stories.
- I took one of my classes outside today to discuss the novel we've been reading. We were out there for approximately THIRTY minutes and, when we came back in, I was BRIGHT RED (sunburned) and, there was a note for me to see the principal. Apparently, it is a very strict school policy that I MUST leave a note on my door if I leave the building. Oops. (Normally, I would be very concerned about this, but it is the last day before spring break and nothing can spoil my mood!)
- Jeff is the assistant coach of the JV Soccer team at my school. They had a game last night. This morning, one of my students reported back. "Your husband is F-I-N-E. And, you guys look exactly alike --- like brother and sister." (Hmm... How should I take this? Does it mean I am F-I-N-E too? I choose that interpretation.)
- While sitting with my students today, I casually took off one of my shoes - adorable loafers, if I do say so myself - and a girl started literally FREAKING OUT about how bad my feet smelled.
- EDITED TO ADD: Seriously, the secretary just called my classroom and asked if, and I quote, I "called and left obscene noises on the front office voicemail." ("Of course, that's totally something I would do.") There was a missed call from my room that resulted in weird breathy noises. I guess that's what I get for breaking the strict school policy of leaving my room.
So, in summary, I've had a really successful, really grown-up feeling day.
ahh! I would have put that girl in time out or something hahaha
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that nothing can mess with your mood today though!!! :)

ReplyDeletehahahahaha.... i love that the secretary thought YOU might have left a message with obscene noises. hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about calling my hubs to tell him that I parked in a no parking zone and my car is being towed, but I too am TERRIBLE at April Fools Day. He would either take me seriously and be really upset after the fact, or see right through it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year!
