My life has gotten back busy again and here I am...adding more to my plate.

1. So funny when a parent sends a message meant for their spouse about you, to you and it is a very negative comment. Then they have to retract and apologize.

1a. Even more funny when their child is bad as hell as they feel this is the gotcha moment.

2. Overheard conversations
"My daddy in jail because...well he just gets so angry sometimes and then one time he got mad and hurt somebody. It's ok. He wrote me a letter and when he get out, he said I can stay with him."
Child, what? Do you not care for your safety?
*He might be a lovely man and learned from his mistake...but from the conversation this seemed more like a character trait than a one time mistake.

3. Houston is so big that your whole world can literally be the part of the city that you grew up. So it is very funny when a new kid comes from a distance in the greater Houston area and the kids are eating up every word they say. "Yea there were a whole bunch of gangs at my old school." She's talking about the suburbs. Not that it can't be some gangland ish going on there...but I know better. I'm going to let the new kid cook and lie to these kids though.

4. I really want to play Our Friend Martin in my class this week but I'm a math teacher. I will make it happen somehow.
