Easily Offended? Part 2

So one of my online friends just posted this link- which is Samuel L Jackson reading the first half of the book I talked about here.
and it seriously makes the book even funnier.

(update- the original video has been removed from the source due to a copyright claim from Audible, Inc- but google it- you can still find some of the clips online. It's totally worth buying from iTunes though)

Easily Offended? Skip This Post

So I just got this book and on behalf of parents everywhere who are trying to get children to sleep I just have to say

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

This book, while COMPLETELY child un-friendly and irreverent, is pretty darn funny.
and in the interest of fair disclosure for those of you who are easily offended and didn't heed the warning above- the book repeatedly uses the whole word (gasp!)

I think most of us can totally relate.
And if you can't you are either psychotic, a liar or a saint
(and I suspect it's one of the first two)

Seriously- buy the book- it's funny stuff

The Today Show did an interview with the author-click here to watch it

Normally, I Catch These Things Much Faster

A conversation on the day before the last day of school. I am talking to our substitute administrator (who I have known for about 2 weeks but who met K in person a week earlier)

Me: (walking up from placing a student on the bus, standing with another student)
I can't believe the year is over

Principal M: I am very ready for the break

Me: Yeah me too, but I will have kids around so it won't be much of a break

Prinicpal M: How many kids of your own do you have?

Me: 4

Principal M: No, how many are yours?

Me: 4

Principal M: No, of your own at home

Me: (finally realizing what we are talking about)
I have 4, two adopted, 2 by birth

Prinicpal M: Of course they are all yours

In my defense, I teach in several venues over the summer so I really thought we were still talking about all the kids I will be with, not just my own personal kids.

And here I was worried I might be too sensitive to adoption comments.....

How Busy Was May? Event 2

5th grade band concert
(so this is technically after the concert since the only photos I could get during the concert looked like those paintings where everything is made of little dots)

During the concert.... (This is the part featuring the trumpets)
