Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Today a former student of mine who is now in fifth grade had this conversation with his teacher while waiting in line to use the bathroom after PE. My class was running late and we were alternating students so mine could go after lunch. Boy: Well, I won't be stinky today! Boy: Yup. My mom sprayed me with strawberries and cream body spray so I wouldn't smell bad. Me: [choking on my full mouth of water. Trying to swallow and not die of laughter.]. Monday, September 26, 2011.
