Miss Tif's Day at School

Miss Tiffany's Day at School. Right now Miss Tif is wondering, "What if HE just wants to be my friend?" And her answer to herself is, "I don't need any more friends." But this, of course, has nothing to do with this post. Miss Tiffany is a first-grade teacher's aid, and had some interesting conversations with the yung'uns today. It started with Timmy's (name changed to protect the guilty) cousin who "dot awested cause she lied to a top." No, no, Timmy, Miss Tif says, Now remember, we don't ever lie to police officers. Then, Suzy came out with, "My dad's in and out of jail, but my stepdad isn't, so that's OK." To which Miss Tif said, way to go, way to see the BRIGHT SIDE. And then she hears about Freddie's dad getting pulled over for drinking and driving to which she says, sometimes dads forget it's not good to drink and drive and we need to remind them. But not to be upstaged, one little girl says, "Then, you might have heard it in the news, my my mom's best friend got arrested because she mistook her baby for a turkey and chopped it up and ate its brains." What can you say to that? We don't talk about that sort of thing in school.

Amen.

So this, Ray, may make you want to change your mind about careers. The teaching profession not only has a lot to offer, but some really interesting stories as well.
