I swear this is true. DON"T LAUGH.

Today we were reading in our groups and we read a line from our book, something like "to her amazement..." Well, amazement is a vocabulary word. So to make them understand it a bit more I said, "Show me a look of amazement." Doing this, I also showed my look of amazement, widening my eyes and opening my mouth. I look over to my left and the little boy next to me had a quizzical expression on his face. Pausing a minute he says "...big mouth" to me!!!!! WTHeckidoodle!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING???? Can you really say that this...

  

is a big mouth????

Part 1) Kids Say the Darndest Thing

Teacher: Today we are going to read Three Little Pigs BUT instead of saying pigs we are going to change it to another noun. For example, once upon a time there were three little dogs and a big bad tomato. Ok you try...

Kid 1: Once upon a time there were three little kittens and a big bad toad.

Kid 2: Once upon a time there were three little slides and a big bad rooster.

Kid 3: Once upon a time there were three little balls and a big bad dingleberry!!!!!

Ahhhhhahahahahaha! It was very hard to stifle the laugh. Wonder where she heard that from???

Part 2) Tiddy Bear!!!



What the...

VOTE YOU PEOPLE!!!

I hope everyone watched the presidential debate. What does everyone think of this pick???

from the Emmy's!!!!!!!

Does anyone want to see New Kids on the Block??? I do!



HOT.

At my school on September 11th they always have a very moving assembly to remember all who were lost. It's very moving. Anywhoo, this year they asked me to sing again. Yes, yes. Funny, funny. Well I received the best compliment that a second grader could ever give.

When we got back into the classroom after the assembly, the kids were sooooo excited. Quotes like, " I never even knew you sang so good." "Can you sing again??? "You should be on American Idol."

But by far the best quote ever was a little girl who said, "Oh my God!!! You sing better than Hannah Montana!!!"

I think a tear came to my eye...

I knew I picked the wrong wedding dress! Ah well. Maybe Amanda???

Soooooo...I commute.

I actually wouldn't really have a problem with commuting if it wasn't for the complete jackasses on the road. YESTERDAY, for instances, driving to the freeway, I encountered NUMEROUS jackasses! There I was driving, as a good citizen would drive: watching my speed, checking my mirrors, hands 10 and 2. When all of sudden I am behind the SLOWEST, BIGGEST truck ever!!! Looks something like this:



No problemo. Being the spectacular driver that I am, I turn on my indicator and move to the opposite lane.

Now safe from the longest truck in the world shenanigans, you would think I could easily bypass the truck and be on my way. NOOO you are WRONG! Now in a new lane, moving along nicely, I encounter yet another JA. The gardeners truck. Looks a little something like this:



Again minding my own business, this idiot decides he wants to be in my lane. This would be ok if he were as good a driver as I am. BUT NO. He is not. This vehiclist obviously doesn't know there are other drivers on the road. He proceeds to come into my lane totally oblivious of me. Although I see him coming, I cannot move out of his way because of the longest truck in the world. (*see above) All I can do it lay on my horn like a mad lady causing him to grab his wheel and stray into the other lane. Which in turn causes MORE honking.story

Do you think the story ends here??? NO!!! Let's continue with the jackasses. (longest shannon's blog ever!)

Now after this incident I'm a little rattled but still ok. I decide that I need to move away from the longest truck in the world AND the gardeners. I, staying within the speed limit, move past both trucks. Yay! NO! As I am now in a brand new lane, the BIGGEST jackass of all decides to come out of the mini mall at completely the wrong time. I am so close to hitting this dumbass that I can smell the smoke from whatever he was smoking. I am completely RAGING!!!

Me...



Him...



Me...



Him...



I have no idea what I said to him but let me just tell you this, it was not kind. Seriously if I have another drive like that...yeah I'll just finish there.

Sooooo I guess I'm the only one that likes it...
