Damn those literal-thinking kids. Who taught them to spell anyway. We should avoid that.
ReplyDeleteDamn CPS schools.
DeleteThat is so cute! I miss having those little guys in my house! Mine are 21 and 23! Enjoy!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI try, Judy. I try.
DeleteI think you need to send those kids to school, with or without teachers.
ReplyDeleteYou think they'd arrest me?
DeleteIs there an orphanage nearby?
ReplyDeleteSF
Googling it now.
DeleteLOVE IT!!!! Bring them here...it's only about 10 hours. We can easily put them on the big yellow bus...I know people!
ReplyDeleteI knew you were "connected." Game on - school's a go!
DeleteThis is so funny. At least you can tell the teacher they practiced writing along with musical instruments during the strike.
ReplyDeleteI hope they survive long enough to return to school.
School is back. Good thing. They only had a day left before I dropped them off at a "Safe Haven."
DeleteToo cute!! But I did hear the strike is over and the kids are going to school tomorrow? If that is the case, you take tomorrow and you do what you want without even looking back; you deserve the quiet of a house!
