Laffy Taffy

Last night I went to see the Village (for the 2nd time). This is my problem with seeing a movie that I have already seen in the theater. The first time, I have no problem sitting through it. I do not know whats coming, and its exciting. Unless the movie is dumb, and I have seen my share of those. When I go and see a movie for the 2nd time, that mystery is gone. For example, I loved "The Village" the first time I. This time, it was lacking. I much prefer renting a movie and being able to get up as I want. Go to the bathroom. Rewind, fast forward, whatever would make me happy. Even stop or pause it if I want to. Okay, thats my rant for the day. On a lighter note, I just saw "The Notebook". Okay, so I saw it on like Thursday or Friday last week, but it was really good. I cried at the end. Now, dont go thinking Im this big emotional person, because Im not. My point, I think everybody in the theater was sobbing. Sniffles were heard throughout the place. My recommendation: Go see "The Notebook".

Oh... In class today my students were all having a really good day. When that happens, they normally get a piece of candy. Well, they all wanted Laffy Taffy. We all know that there are jokes on the wrappers of the candy. For some reason, Yaniris, thought her joke was really funny. Mind you, if you have ever read a laffy taffy joke - they are corny and normally stupid. I dont think this one was much different. I think the students were just in a crazy mood. Here's the joke:

Joke: What is a bunny's motto?
Answer: Don't worry be hoppy.

That is the joke that my 3rd hour class bust a gut. Here I was with my students (all high schoolers) cracking up at this joke.

But, it gets better.... The day just was a cluster of weird occurances. After we had calmed down from that oh, so funny joke we had a brief moment of efficiency where we actually got quite a bit accomplished. Then, of course the talk starts again. Mind you, of the students I had in class, all 5 of them are girls and 4 of them are pregnant or are moms already. Somehow, they got on the topic of how they told their moms they were pregnant, or how their moms found out. Not even going to start on where this conversation went, but you can only imagine. I need to close for now. Im sure you will hear from me again shortly.
