Never a Dull Moment!

So subbing continues to provide me with amusing anecdotes. The latest goes something like this...

I'm in a second grade classroom, circulating as I check students work. An absolutely adorable little girl looks up at me with her angelic eyes and announces:

"I HAVE LICE IN MY HAIR!"

I of course, immediately take a step back.

She continues, "Lice is not good for my hair."

At this point I am trying hard not to laugh out loud. As I continue to take tiny steps backward, I reply to her, "You are right, lice is not good for ANYONE'S hair." She resumes practicing the letter X.

So there you have it folks, another day in the life of the Coolest Substitute EVER. It doesn't get any better than this! (Unless of course, you count dinner with Melanie and the Mormon boys. But that's another story altogether. Or was it all different?)

You're funny Susie. Are you feeling a little buggy in the head? :) What's up with Mel and the Mormans....do tell.

Love your new blog look!!!

Melanie and the Mormon boys (they've been stopping by) had dinner with us the other night (shepherd's pie, how funny), and we just had a really good time around the table cutting up! I am loving the opportunities God is dropping in our laps these days...

I can't believe you handled that with such calm...when our girls were exposed, Rich shaved his head :-)

Susie said...

Somehow...that doesn't surprise me! :)

So far, in 6 years of teaching and 12 years of kids in school, we have totally managed to dodge THIS bullet.

I got no worries when it comes to lice :-)

SuperSteve said...

If you had a really hairy back, could you get "back lice"?

Susie...like the new background on your blog

This is where the phrase "Don't bring your work home with you." comes from.

Vicki said...

Okay, Steve you are just gross! However, very funny!

Susie, now my head feels like it is crawling...yuck! I always thought I might enjoy subing, but now, maybe not!

YUCK !!!

When we discovered the kids in Mexico had lice I freaked out. My head was itching for 2 weeks after we got back. I was convinced that those bugs followed us home.
