Wish I Had More For You...

I'm wearing my Busy Sheepie hat tonight, folks. So this one is a quickie. Tomorrow night I will return, fresh from Parent/Teacher Conferences Part One, in which I cleverly demonstrate how to fill many, many hours that one has to be in attendance but for which one has no scheduled conferences. I do believe I'll be ready for a little Wednesday Night Bullet Post at that point.

Meanwhile, let me leave you with The Best Line Of The Day. Here's the set-up:

I was helping one of my students today while his class was enjoying their scheduled library time. He was having some difficulties with the shelving system and with figuring out out just what he wanted to read. After scanning the computerized card catalogue and discussing various options, he settled on an Animal Book. I agreeably escorted him to the appropriate section and we selected several titles. He was thrilled to find one book in particular.

Ms. Sheep, look!!! It's a book about guinea pigs!!!

Actually sweetheart, those aren't guinea pigs. Those are hamsters.

(Insert benevolent smile and teacherly glow here. Children are really such treasures, after all...)

After a pause and a lengthy gander at the cover art, he said:

Ohhhhh...so it was a hamster I stepped on that time!


My job is not an easy one and often interferes with my blogging time. But you do get the occasional giggle-worthy nugget. See you tomorrow!
