This is a portion of "my" class.
When I say they are "my" classI mean I am their class sponsor,
And have been for three years.
Several years ago they started
Making jokes about my age - - -
All in good fun you realize,
And I laugh when they ask:
"Mrs. B, what was it like to live
With the dinosaurs?"
"When were you born? - - -
At the beginning of time?"
"Do you remember when the automobile was invented?"
"Were you friends with George Washington?"
Well - - - you get the idea.
One day last year they came into my room
And I could tell right away they were proud
Of themselves for something.
One of them came up front
And presented me with a card
They had made.
On the outside of the card it said:
HAPPY FOSSIL APPRECIATION DAY!!
(And they didn't mean the watch)
Today in class someone said
That I had evolved from
A "Keethasaurus" all the way up to human.
To which this young man,
Whom I call Texas, said - - -"How ironic is it that the ONE
Creature who is living proof of evolution
Doesn't believe in it?!?"
This is why I teach - - -
To be living proof of SOMETHING.

You know, Headless - - - when he said it, I stopped class, asked if I could write it down for my blog, and did so!!!
Oh - - - they all know I blog, it's a big joke with them. But guess what??? SOME of them come and look at my blog - - - so who gets the last laugh????
Are you wearing a tiara?
Oh goodness, I laughed right out loud at Fossil Appreciation Day. How funny.
LOL Kirby - - - YES I was wearing a tiara. That picture was taken during homecoming week on the "Disney" theme day. I was dressed as the Queen of Hearts and all the kids were my playing card soldiers. That was actually Texas' idea because when they argue about my "calls" during a game I always say: "You're forgetting who's the QUEEN."
