Okay bloggers from above, here are the questions for you to answer and post on your blog. 
1. Do you entertain friends with kindergarten (or other school kid) stories? Got a quick one to share? Yes especially my parents.  My first year teaching I had a boy go into my classroom bathroom and come yelling out "Teacher, Teacher, there is an animal in the bathroom,"  I was new to the school and I had a scary closet in the back of the room and I thought there could possible be a mouse in the bathroom...so the boy took me into the bathroom and pointed under the sink and said "Right there right there,"  Well it turned out to be a cricket, but he was pretty worked up about the huge ANIMAL!

3.  Does your school district include high school? Yes
