I was having heart palpitations the day of my son's since I didn't know what to expect (it being the first and all) so I know the feeling. Maybe she'll be a bit nicer if she sees you're sick.
Congrats on the 200 posts! I think that is really what RAN man was cheering about. |

We also have issues with the kid who sits next to her. According to my daughter's reports, he is a very good student, but also a sneaky liar. I'm sure he has a bright future in politics, but I am looking forward to the day that the class changes seating assignments. A sneaky liar at age 6? |

Wow, that's bad. I hope she believes you. I sat next to sneaky liar in 3rd grade. We once had to draw a comic strip and she copied mine but since hers looked better (she was a better artist) the teacher believed her lie that I had copied. I was SO mad. |

Isn't it something how we remember these little injustices of so long ago? I still remember the little creep who stole my really cool pencil and threw it out the window, never to be seen again. I think he grew up to be a real bona fide criminal. |

I think it stuck with me because it was probably the first time a teacher didn't believe me. I was always good (at least in school) and so that was worse than her copying my work.
I am sure your pencil thief is a criminal and my copier has a successful journalism career.

| Hey, Abs, which Eiffel Tower is your little bear standing in front of? Number 8? Number 4? Unfortunately, I only had time to see one because I was so busy making sandwiches the the whole time I was in Paris. |

I believe that is actually secret No. 12. That idiot only knew of 9 but there are, in fact, 316 Eiffel Towers in Paris, Texas. |

I think it is pricey for the type of food they serve but it's by no means a fancy place. I know what you're talking about and those places are outrageous.
for your amusement |
