For my regular amusement.

We have a student this year who needs some special attention.  He was in the office one day with me because he didn’t want to do something and while I was trying to calm him down/let him wind down, he threw a notebook at me, hit me several times, tried to pull off my watch and flipped up my dress a few times.  Luckily he’s a quite-small kindergartener and wasn’t too effective in his wrath.  

The Speech Pathologist happened to be in the building that day and after he calmed down, she worked with him to make a poster about what he COULD do when he felt upset.  Everyone who comes in contact with him got a poster of their own.

So the day came when he was in the office again.  He was upset, so one of the Educational Assistants handed me the poster.  I set it down on the chair next to him and started to remind him of what it said. 

“I don’t want this,” he said, and crumpled it into a ball, which he then threw into the garbage can.  I chuckled.  When he calmed down, he pulled it out of the garbage can and we smoothed it out so it could continue to hang on my bulletin board, mostly so I could see it and think:

I don’t want this.

Today’s funny comics. Subtitle. Two ways I appreciate the boyfriend.

Thank goodness I took the band Journey’s adage to heart and learned eventually that “lovin’ a music man ain’t always what it’s supposed to be.”  If I hadn’t left drummers behind, not only would I be marking time through endless drum solos, but also I wouldn’t have met Matt.

I grew up in a family that watched spectator sports.  Baseball and football mostly, but also college basketball.  So I am quite familiar with this interview.  And thank goodness the boyfriend has absolutely no interest in spectator sports so I don’t have to listen to this interview any longer.

“If that ball goes up there, you aren’t getting it back until the janitor can get on the roof”

I can just hear the recess monitor now.  The funny part about this is that I took the picture standing on the staircase that heads down to the playground.  But the balls on the roof are so tantalizing, just at my eye level.

Amusing headlines, brought to you by the Oregonian

They were kind of asking for it with that title. And, thinking back to the standard overstatement of the delightful hotel owner in the first movie, it would have been been in keeping to call it the Even Better Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Hee.  That’s all I have to say.  Hee.

New Timer

I purchased this great new timer to assist me with a project I’m working on.  It’s fun because you turn it on and place the side with the amount of time you need facing up.  Then, when the timer goes off, you move the cube to the side with zero on it and it stops.  No buttons!

I was greatly amused by the first “caution” listed.  Has someone actually done this?

Someone has a little too much discretionary spending money.

From an Oregonian article about most downtown parking tickets accumulated.  The top winner is a UPS truck.  But also high on the list?  The daughter of a doctor with a little too much spending money.  Who also has a parking space in a garage.  The absurdity of this made me laugh.
