What you need are cheat codes, motor skills, and a magic genie who grants wishes to little boys who stink at Mario Kart.

When you go to college to be a teacher, they teach you all sorts of things, none of which I can remember nine years later. I can, however, tell you the things they did NOT teach me in college that I have learned in those nine years.

I still think about people with "office jobs" and how many of them say the things I say during a day.

For example:
"Please stop touching the underpants."
"Untape your fingers."
"What do you mean can't find your shoe?!"
"He called you the 'i' word? I'm going to need you to spell that one for me so I know what you're talking about."

and my personal favorite:
"WHO is bleeding?!" (followed by the sounds of crickets chirping- no one will own up to it)

Aah the joys of spending the day with 9 year olds.

Easy: Egg Nog Ice Cream from Braum's. I have to have it every year. I've been known to be snippy when I'm told on the first day of December that they're out of egg nog ice cream. Just sayin'.
