A couple of things to share...

-I just saw a commercial for something called snuggles, except they're pronounced "snoogles." It's a body-length fleece outfit. And what made it so great was how the commercial showed so many different people in the snuggle. And every different person in the snuggle made my LOL in my head (does that count? laughing out loud in my head?).

-The other day one of my math students told me I looked like I was from Vermont, after I had shared with the class that I was, indeed, from Vermont. Well needless to say we took a 30-second time out from math so I could see what, exactly, she meant by that. I mean, fine I had an EMS fleece vest on over my mature teaching outfit, but really? Doesn't she KNOW I have a straight up Hamilton-Wenham purse? She couldn't explain herself and so I told her that I'd be talking to her after class. She looked scared and said, "really?" No. Okay back to denominators and divisors and fun things like that...

-I have 4 students that are my "tutees" since I'm the "tutor." I like to call them (this is the true me, not the me pretending to be mature) "tudees" because it's much funnier. One of my tudees is such a cute pie. He's in 3rd grade and I just love him. Anyway, you know how you might say, "darn", "bummer", enter expletive here, etc., when you do something by accident? Well his way of communicating this is to say, "TARTAR SAUCE!"  Well it wasn't as funny to me when I realized he might have gotten this from that STUPID SpongeBob show. But still funny. Here is how a conversation between the two of us went (we'll call him Johnny):

S: Tartar sauce!

T: Johnny, do you know what tartar sauce is?

S: Pause (this is where he is processing that incoming information at a slower pace because...he is a slow processor)....what?

T: Do you know what tartar sauce is?

S: I think so?

T: What is it?

S:....what?

T: What is tartar sauce? 

S: I don't know.

T: Have you ever had it with fish?

S:......uh....I don't remember.

So I kind of really enjoy it when he makes a mistake. Is that wrong?

I still have to work on that paper.

LOL.
