As I sit here waiting for the moment when the parents will arrive in my room for Curriculum Night (Open House), I am trying to think of moments that tickle me or things that will keep me alert and focused.
One moment from today:
Student came into the office and just stood there.
Secretary: What is it?
Student: Hmm.
Secretary: What is it? You know you can't just come in here to hang out, right?
Student: I know. My stomach hurts.
Secretary: Well. Do you need to use the bathroom?
Student: I don't know.
Secretary: Well, go try and use the bathroom. Just sit there and see if there is a release. If you have to, go ahead and rub your knees and lean forward a bit to make it release more easily.
Only two and a half more hours, then a forty-five minute commute home to make this a 16-hour day from door step to door step. Hopefully, tonight, I get more than 5 hours of sleep.
Never a dull moment in the school system, is there?!
ReplyDeleteOh my! All I can really do is laugh at this! Good luck on your open houses, I'm currently holding hours for conferences. Wanna take a bet on who'll see more parents??
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had a decent turn out. I'm sure more than you had. Hope you got some work done during your evening stay.
DeleteLmao. i honestly can't stop laughing at "Well, go try and use the bathroom. Just sit there and see if there is a release. If you have to, go ahead and rub your knees and lean forward a bit to make it release more easily"
ReplyDeleteI had to turn my body away from the student so she wouldn't see me starting to smile and then trying to stop laughing.
DeleteOhmigosh, does that knee rubbing thing work??? Now I gotta try it. Uh...you know what I mean...

I don't like to stay in the bathroom longer than necessary, but let me know how it works for you. ;-)
DeleteAnd my day starts with some good hard giggling! Thanks!
