Bei Mir Bist Du Schon Means That You're Grand...




If you could overdose on Robert Sean Leonard or Airborne, I would have done it already this week. I don't like kids when they give me sniffles. Not at all. I also don't like grading papers. But, I've started using that time to have Swing Kids on in the background so I have his pretty face to look up at every once in a while. I know he's not everyone's dream man, but I'm weird I guess.

Just a few quick things of note:
1. I think my average age of friends just jumped up a decade and a half. At least.

2. I probably go to the library too much. Maybe because "the" librarian looks a little like the above mentioned fella. Or maybe I actually do have a lot of things to laminate. Probably both, but you never can tell.

3. Today we had our first assembly. I had an identity crisis when I realized I was one of the teachers sitting on the side instead of a kid on the floor. In 1992 I sat on that very floor to sing along with Joe Scruggs.

4. While I was busy getting some stuff together one boy asked me, "Do you ever get mad at us?" I was preoccupied and accidentally said Yes. Oops, maybe I'm not cut out for this! Oh dear!

5. I'm famous. I was sitting in the library waiting on my lamination, reading Merle Haggard's autobiography {seriously, I couldn't make that up if I wanted to} and I overheard a girl telling her mom who I was. I looked up and had no idea who she was. It might not sound that weird in writing, but when lots of town-children know who you are and you don't know them, it's kinda freaky.

Yes, I am tired of my own name. Some kids were asking how I spelled my name and I wrote "Ms. Beck". I hate that my first name is Miss.

Joe Scruggs! We did some singing and dancing to Joe Scruggs the other day! I thought of you.

Woohoo, tomorrow's Friday.

You never mentioned the Library Boy looks like Robert Sean Leonard! I've got to get one for our library!! :)

Don't you love that my comments are always a week late?

no, you're not weird; he's a looker.

i like your use of honesty with the kid. people should tell kids they don't like them more often is what i say.

someone needs to update

I think the issue with this guy is, he was a looker. Now he's on House and is totally overshadowed by Hugh Laurie.
Because everyone loves Hugh.
