Day 21

Today I turned the children against themselves. Like Lilliputian gladiators, armed only with the knowledge of United States foundational documents they battled each other. I used the guise of a review game, but secretly it amuses me to see how casually students will turn on each other to win a game. The reward? A pack of either Popeye's hot sauce or something that looks like honey but I suspect it is actually be something very different. I also quietly mentioned bonus points on the test but only a few people heard that and instead chose the condiments. I like to think of them sadly riding the school bus home, sitting alone in the back seat quietly finishing off a pack of Louisiana hot sauce, hoping nobody will notice.

OK. I don't hope that, I was just sadly nostalgic for my own childhood bus adventures. However if you do love hot sauce I hope that dream comes true for you.

The test is on Thursday. I realize many of you skipped today thinking you were avoiding this. You only avoided the review. You also missed the story of how I once wrestled a monkey in a mall in New Jersey. The story was true and it won't be on the test, but I will never tell the story again. Now you have to imagine it, and since many of you have had your imagination's destroyed by a childhood of playing games on your parent's ipad's while they desperately tried to eat a meal in peace, I will attempt to recreate the scene using AI. Again. (This is pretty accurate but I was wearing shoes and pants. I would be the one on the right.)
