Would have been nice to know!

So, I had a subbing day today in a town that I could hop into a carpool to get there. When we were about 1/2 an hour out of the city, one of the teachers I was driving with asked me if I knew what activity I was running for Track & Field Day.

"It's track and field day?" said I.

*long pause* "They didn't tell you it was Track & Field day?"

Nope, they sure didn't! So I was wearing a nice sweater, black dress pants, and high-heeled sandals. Great.

AND I was doing the ball throw. On a shale ball diamond. Great.

I did manage to score a school t-shirt that I could change into. No shoes, though, so I went barefoot for most of the day. And even though my lovely dress pants are caked with layers and layers of shale dust, it was still a really fun day.

Well...

I don't have much fodder for blogging these days, so I thought I'd continue with Taylor Mali because he's so funny.

What Teachers Make

Wow. It's a little bit explicit but definitely shows passion about teaching!

I'm singing in the rain, just singin' in the rain...

Well actually yesterday I was walking in the rain. I was subbing in a school that is an In Motion school, so I was out with the grade three's for a walk. It was just starting to drizzle, not hard enough to cancel the walk but we were talking about how our hair was getting wet.

One of the girls near me, who is clearly 9 going on 39, decided to weigh in with her feelings about the rain:

"I guess I'm just not used to getting wet. It's been a long time since I've taken a walk in the rain. I mean, I dance in the sunlight and sing in the moonlight, but I rarely dance in the rain."

I thought she was joking. But she wasn't. So funny.
