these are great! do you think you could tell them a fun story from our childhood and let them write stuff like that about me?

actually I did tell them about that boy spitting the peppermint in the fan the other day when i gave them pop rocks as a reward. it was more like a threat: "I'm trusting you NOT to be irresponsible with these. If you do, you could end up like this kid"

AHAHAHA!!!! I had forgotten about that for years! I was so mad and embarrassed. Did you say that some jerk chewed a peppermint then spit it into a fan where it flew out and hit some sweet girl on the face? Unreal. I hated MRA. I am glad that I met you and a few other people there, but I only have awkward, pre-teen and teenage stories from that school.

You need to find a way to channel the anger/bad memories for good... i couldn't be an effective middle school teacher without all that drama and horror. At least you had to spend less time there than I did. love you!
