On the playground:
Jay runs up to me holding a clump of grass that he had just ripped out of the schoolyard in his hand.
Jay: “Miss Pell, do you have a bag?”
MP: “For what Jay?”
Jay: “For my grass stupid.”
MP: “Jay we don’t call people stupid and we don’t keep grass. Throw it down.”
Jay, said while exiting in a semi-stomping tamtrum, “My brother gets to keep his grass in a bag!”
This was followed up by an awkward call from me to Jay’s parents.
This morning went rather well in class. It is funny how the kids calm down and are rather tired on days that it is raining. Maybe because it seems dark outside and they think they should still be asleep. Not a lot happened during morning math, reading and coloring. The highlight of the morning was Sara nibbling a little on her crayon. However, when lunch came around the kids started to perk up.
Usually my assistant sits with the kids at lunch and I get a break, but she was out today. They were all excited to go to the lunchroom since it was a Thursday. Thursdays in our school is chocolate milk day, and they all get two small cartons of it with their lunch.
I had them all seated and I was helping them get situated when I noticed Misty standing up on her chair. She had been ranting about something she’d seen on Xena all morning. (Her parents bought her the first 2 seasons on DVD). She was holding the circular lid to her Tupperware in her hands and was telling Anni that it is her “Chakram” just like Xena’s (I looked it up--it’s some weapon Xena used).
All of a sudden she let’s out this warrior-like scream,
“Ah la la la la la la la la!”
I see Misty whip the lid as hard as she could. It flew, quite well I must say, across the room and nailed Steve in the forehead.
Steve sat for a second, and then summoned all his energy and let out a piercing wail. He let it out with so much force over a span of three minutes that he ended up crapping his pants.
I had to take him to the office to call his parents and explain what a red welt was doing on his forehead.
When I asked Misty about why she threw her Tupperware top at Steve she simply replied, “Steve is the enemy.”
“My brother gets to keep his grass in a bag!”.
AHAHAHHAAHA!!! :p

Steve had it coming.
Steve should have used his "sword" to deflect the blow.
