January's almost over. New year's resolutions left to break = zero. Now let's have fun with . . .
Today's Educational Questions: Did you use Cliff Notes or other study short cuts in school? Nope.
Confession time. Did you ever cheat or see cheating on a test or assignment, and if so, how? Yes, both, in high school. For me it was very embarrassing. An unfair thing a teacher did or said: Again, high school when I was accused of lying when I hadn't.
One of the best things a teacher did or said: Junior high, when a teacher openly announced in class that I was the only student with a perfect score on a semester test.
Bonus Hygiene Section: What's the longest time you've gone without a shower or bath? A week. But I cheated with a washcloth at the sink.
Have you had to clean up - yourself, another person or a pet - after getting into mud, skunk spray or other major mess, and if so, what?
You sure you want to know???
For a while I worked the night shift when my daughter was a baby. I came home from work one morning and checked in on her in her bedroom, and there she was in her crib staring at me with a black face. She had been playing with her poop, and it was all over her face - I kid you not, she looked just like Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer, and all I could see was her eyes and lips. It was rubbed all along the top of her crib. I whooped out 'WTH' and my husband came in to see what was wrong. When he saw it he tip-toed right to bed, which made me really red-hot angry. What a nightmare of a morning that was getting her and the crib cleaned. NOT a fond memory.
