It's Friday. Umbrella Friday, with a little randomness thrown in. Hence, the pic with an umbrella in it and then some randomness following....
This past week I have been playing full-time teacher in Bean's class because her real teacher is about to have a baby. It's been a fun week. Really. But since I have not worked full time like this in ten years, I'm now jello-brained. Kids are fun, but a bit random.
So let me recount some of the random things overheard in Room 12 this past week. (Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)
Mrs. Morris, someone put one of the Cinco de Mayo paper flowers in the boys' toilet--the part where you go pee.
Lucy, I think you've been at the Kleenex counter long enough digging in your nose. Stop stalling and get back to your math test.
Mark, please stop stealing the pencil erasers and putting them in your pocket, they don't belong to you.
Mrs. Morris, Matthew just farted on the carpet and it now stinks in the back row.
Lucas, please take your t-shirt off of your head at carpet time. I need to see your face.
Mrs. Morris, why do we need to know how to spell if we have dictionaries in our cubbies?
Louis, why do you have a sopping wet paper towel on your face?
Mrs. Morris, I'm allergic to running. (--said during a quick PE lap around the field)
Mrs. Morris, can I write my poem on the time my bathroom flooded?
Zeek, if I ever see you walking yourself out after school again, rather than lining up with Mrs. Hawley's line (which has been your after school line since the first day of school), then I will personally hold your hand and escort you to your ride every day after school till the end of the year. Would you like your friends to see you holding Mrs. Morris' hand after school, taking you to the pick-up area?
Mrs. Morris, I didn't mean to slap him in the face, my hand just flew up and his face was right there!
Mrs. Morris, Shredderman is our favorite book series. The bully, Bubba Bixby, has a HUGE FOREHEAD!
Lisa, you are only in 3rd grade and you're already passing notes?! Give it to me...
Mrs. Morris, I'm trying to spell "anxious" but I'm getting worried that I can't find it in the dictionary to find out how to spell it.
And my favorite...
Mrs. Morris, you look beautiful today. (Totally not random. I hope.)
I have two more weeks of this folks. Randomness and umbrellaness.
Have a fabulous weekend. I'm off to rest my brain.
xoxo

Love the slap one. Just too funny! And the umbrella pic is awesome!
Great umbrella pic idea! Love it.
Those comments are hilarious. Kids say the funniest things. I remember wondering how to look-up words in the dictionary if I didn't know how to spell them. :-)
Happy Friday! a.
Have they had contests to see who can 'hock a loogie' on the ceiling first yet? I swear that's all the boys wanted to do in 7th grade.
And yes, the dictionary as a reference has always eluded me. "Look it up!"...but how??
hahahahaha! those things made me laugh so hard. Oh man, you must be rolling your eyes some times. Hilarious.
I took umbrella pics yesterday thinking of you and your Friday posts. I still have to edit them but hope to get them up on Flickr some time today. :)
Love the shadows - great idea! :)
This makes me feel good about my decision to withdraw from the teaching program in college. Seriously, teaching requires the patience of a saint.
Hang in there Pretty Mrs. Morris!! ;)
Yes Heather...rolling my eyes! And no loogies yet J!
That photo is so fun.
And I especially liked the "allergic to running" comment. And the anxious one.
I hope you have a great weekend. You deserve it!!
Oh, beautiful Mrs. Morris ... I bet most of the quotes are much MUCH funnier once you're thinking upon them at home, with your feet kicked up ... ;-)
Now was Lucas' shirt over his head at carpet time because of Matthew's fart? That might be an exception, no? ;)
I know I should be working on reportcards or reading these final writing prompt drafts but I had to click on your blog because I KNEW you would have some funny moments posted from this past week. Thanks for not disappointing me.
There is a kid in our grade who tells me, "I can't run because I'm allergic to grass." I say, "Don't take your shoes off, now get out there and run!"
