Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I can always count on Natter for a topic of conversation that will get my mind off ickyness. Cannibalism and ass hooks. Yes.

Today has not been fun. I had to yell at a group of kids today for deleting the video of another group. And, my speech class is filled with some kids who make me want to weep for the future of our country. I ask them a question and they stare blankly at me. I tell them where they can find the answers and I watch drool drip out of their slackjawed mouths. I tell them I'll wait to find the answer and watch them barely move. I ask the question again and no response. I tell them I'm actually waiting for an answer. Finally I see signs of life. I talk them through the answer and then ask the question again. And even though I just gave them the answer, I get blank looks again.

Because books.

I really wish I wasn't wondering if it tasted like chicken now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, I'm pretty sure it's getting your mind ON to ickyness.

Quote from my son: "I smeared banana on my butt to make the salt stick."

I love this so very much.

I was just about to go back to my main task for the day, when I realized no! It's time to do my Onerous Task! I.e., expense report. Good one.

I should also add that my son's reason for salting his butt was that it would sting and encourage him to do with math homework faster. Never mind he spent more time salting his butt than his homework took.

On to a different form of ickyness. And, ickyness that I don't have to personally deal with (thank heavens).

I love his reasoning skills. He would do better in my speech class than my current students. Faulty reasoning? Sure, but at least he's thinking!

Now, I'm going to go do my onerous task and make copies and hunt down empty boxes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Off to finish my book!
