I’m busy all day today with parent-teacher conferences, so I’d appreciate it if you guys would cut me some slack and let me take the day off. I’ve been running myself ragged writing this thing for you slope-headed ingrates, and in return I’d like a break.
I’m serious about this. I don’t even feel that well. I have the sniffles and a sore throat. I’ve popped so many cough drops over the last 48 hours that my entire body reeks of mentho-lyptus. I’ve got advanced vapor action steaming out of my armpits. I’m not the only one, either. Bridgette is home with a fever and pounding headache, and many of my coworkers are feeling run down. What’s the deal? It’s like we’re the Aztecs and smallpox just blew into town!
Anyway, thanks for listening, guys. You always seem to be there for me when I need you most with a friendly link or a grammatically incorrect, tangential comment that grinds conversation to an awkward halt. You guys are the best.
Now leave me alone.
i wish you nothing but awkwardness in your parent/teacher conferences. see if you can slip in “ma’am, your son/daughter has touched me, and i’m sure i have touched him/her.”
You should ask the parents if their children ever talk about you at there house and if they believe their children think you are cool. Then lean in and act like you are looking for validation from the children you teach.
Nice Scott.
Also when people ask you if that’s mentho-lyptus they small, just say it’s alcohol on your breath. That should make for some awkward moments, too.
Sounds like Bridgette’s got the plague. If you go home and find a fire breathing dragon and no Bridgette, she’s in the final stage. Metamorphosis is the last symptom.
hopefully you have a super day and this intersite will ease you greatly!

That site was awesome!
That’s how Peter teaches. Especially when talking about The Mongolians.
Actually, Sarah, Peter told me he just throws historical movies in the dvd/vcr and lets the kids learn that way. Or did I hear that wrong, Peter?
