I can't take the picture off the post because I attached it and you don't have PMs. What happened?! e: Oh, someone called me a racist. Eh. I don't care. If saying that I was insulted by that is a "meltdown," I guess there are very low standards for meltdowns. Fleta Mcgurn has a new favorite as of 05:53 on Mar 4, 2017 |

What terrible parenting. If you find an envelope in your son's room labelled "top secret," sure, open it. Unless he's a psychopath, it's gonna be something as benign as what his true favourite colour is. Then, rather than questioning him about it, just reseal it and put it back. On birthdays and Christmas, happen to get him pink stuff. He'll appreciate it a lot more if he doesn't think you're now forcing it on him because you found his private note. Fleta Mcgurn posted:I agree with everyone else who has said that Rihanna is awesome. I hope she never stops speaking her weird little mind. Content: I was at a restaurant with my parents recently. I went into the bathroom to wash my hands before dinner, and as I was entering, a man and his son were leaving. The boy said "Daddy, I'm never going to go pee again! " Good luck with that, little dude.

Almost all parents are making this poo poo up as they go. This is more true in cultures where families are far flung and parents are just expected to hit the ground running to deal with what has to be the most terrifying task they've ever taken on in their life. I think how they handled it was far more positive than most of the ways they could have responded. I got the feeling it was more about finding out WHY he felt he needed to keep his color preference secret from everyone. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want my child to grow up thinking there are parts of my life that need to be hidden or pushed down because they vary from the expected norm. I fail to see how what they're doing is "terrible"

Facebook "memory" from two years ago, when I was still teaching elementary school: Things you never thought you'd say (until you became a teacher): "If I find any more cheese in this room, I'm going to make you all smell it."(Followed by "YES TEACHER PLEASE GOOD SMELL!") "Stop touching his butt. I know he's your friend, but right now you need to touch your book, not his butt." "Why is he crying? Oh, his mom's late? Awww...it's okay, buddy, let's go draw on the windows." (I had special window markers.) "No, no, it's B-R-O-W-N, not B-R-A-U-N. Right. 'My poop is brown.' Perfect writing!" "If you call me 'Mr. Fleta' one more time, you have to eat your pencil." THOMAS: "Fleta-teacher, I made you a picture!" ME: "Wow, I love it!" THOMAS: "Do you know what it is?" ME: "Um...well...it looks like a dragon eating a train." THOMAS: "Yes!" ME: "Well, this is the best picture I've ever seen of a dragon eating a train." THOMAS: "I know."

Leo and McCrea are wearing the same cream-colored jackets today (as long as the kids are wearing one piece of their uniform, we don't bust them; in the 'regular' part of the school they'd get in trouble) and were walking around with their arms around each other. Of course, it's hard to walk and hug at the same time, so they were staggering and lurching all over the hallway. MOMO: Haha, Fleta, look. McCree and Leo are a couple. LEO: No, we're not! MOMO: Same clothes. Couple. LEO: Fleta, I'm not gay! I just want him to go to the bathroom with me. ME: That's kind of weird. LEO: IT'S NOT WEIRD! MCCREE: ...a little weird.

Rihanna's impression of Trump: "MAKE BOOBS BIG AGAIN" with the matching face.

"Because when I see you, I can't stop staring. Because you're amaaaaaaazzzzzinnggggg. Just the way you aaaaaaaare." RIHANNA: *whispers* "I'm flat." ME: "What did you say?" RIHANNA: .... ME: "Did you say 'I'm flat'?" RIHANNA: "Yes." ME: "Okay." RIHANNA: "NO ONE IS FLATTER THAN ME!" ME: "I'm not going back to America." JAYDEN: "Why? Oh, Trump." ME: "Yeah, I hate him." TOM: "I read an American news report that says he is a baby." ME: "Yeah, definitely. But his daughter's hot." LITERALLY EVERYONE: "Yeah!" Fleta Mcgurn has a new favorite as of 07:59 on Mar 10, 2017 |

AND THE HITS KEEP ON COMING TOM: "Fleta, how can I make my cat take a shower?" ME: "I don't think you can MAKE a cat do anything, but my cat liked to sit in the shower with me." TOM: "But what if the cat gets dirty?" ME: "It will clean itself." TOM: "But what if it's really, really dirty? I think it will hurt me if I make it have a shower." ME: "You could use a wet towel and wipe the cat." TOM: "Okay, write that down for me so I can check the words." *I do so* TOM: "What about cutting its [claws]? I think it will kill me." So apparently Tom is getting a cat today. He was really worried about keeping it clean. e: RIHANNA: "What are we going to do when you leave?" ME: "You can put a wig on [Grand Fromage] and pretend."

ME: "How about your girlfriend?" AMBER: "She loves it so much." ME: "How does it work?" AMBER: 'You're married. You know already." Well, she's not wrong. Incidentally, she missed a week of school to get that drat eyelid surgery. That's one of my least favorite things about teaching in Asia; kids missing tons of school for plastic surgery. Or circumcisions. The freshmen were having an argument before class: ME: "Please stop shouting in the classroom." BOYS: *rabble rabble rabble* ME: "HEY! If you're gonna fight, go fight outside." MCCREA: "We're not fighting." LEO: "Yeah, just talking." DAVID: "It's okay. Everybody friends." Then David punched Leo in the side of the head. DAVID: "FRIENDS!" LEO: "Fucccckkkk."

He's technically right, as I recall- the way I read it, Homo Sapiens simply snapped up all the resources the Neanderthals used to rely on. Hell, we even snapped up their ladies, as we still have some traces of Neanderthal DNA in us, which means their ladyfolk got a whole more busy with us than with their own dudes

My five year old niece has had a lot of wonderful zingers, most of the notable ones have been documented in this thread over the past 3 years. I now bring you the latest installment. "You want a hot dog, black maaaaan?" (Said with all the sass she could muster. She was referring to Sascha Baron Cohen's character in Through the Looking Glass, who notably wore all black clothes. A discussion about adjectives was had) "I LOVE A GOOD CATFIGHT!" ("That's when you fight a cat, right?") "Chapter sixteeeeeeeen! *throws a stick at me*" (?????) "You played Final Fantasy without me?!?! You have to start it over, that game is in my heart!" (She loves Prompto, I'm more of a Gladiolus woman) I frickin love her.

Imagining Neanderthals at a stock market meeting or something. She also wrote "premiere figure" for the answer to one question and I managed to decode that she meant "thumb." Oh, and her answer to "What continent is generally accepted as the origin of humanity?" was "stone tools." *headdesk* She has a lot of problems with her English. Problems that should have been addressed BEFORE she was supposed to be graduating. I never taught her class before this year and I didn't know her well, but I really have to shake my head at how poorly the administration has responded to addressing what I suspect is a real learning issue, since apparently she's just as difficult to understand in Chinese. I'm not trained to work with exceptional learners in this setting and neither is anyone else on staff. I do my best but this is blatantly damaging bullshit and one of the reasons I'm glad to be leaving at the end of the school year.
