Sandy...when I was in 4th grade one of the rotten little boys in my class "accidentally" dropped a dictionary on our beloved hamster. I've never been the same. I remember having a lesson on death after that. Now I think of that poor teacher having to clean up the hamster situation.
p.s. have I told y'all we have a male hamster with an entirely pink cage named Cookie? I think he's going to have a gender identity crisis, but it was all donated, so I'm not complaining.
Cel...I sent home a letter to parents asking if any are willing to take a crayfish. Of course the kids are fighting over them but I still have no parents jumping on the offer. Go figure.
bbn...that's seriously all you've got? You're going downhill. It's sad, really.
Moo...they're fresh water crayfish. They have to be in distilled water, actually. Which I have to purchase and lug into school in order to clean their tank once a week.

Have I mentioned I hate them? We're just not supposed to release them because they're not native to KY or whatever. Maybe Twink can explain that concept better. I'm just having trouble with the whole freezing thing. It kind of goes against my whole vegetarian mindset and it's throwing off my respect for life groove!
And, there's more...
After the crayfish unit comes the beetle unit. However, they ran out of beetles, so our entire school is getting Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. Really looking forward to the arrival of those critters.
Rob...your brilliance never ceases to amaze me. I mean, why didn't I think of eating the crayfish?
Marita...Have I ever seen you here at 7am before? Germany did something wIerd to you!
Fend for yourself Fridays reminds me of my mom's "Fun Dinners." There was nothing fun about them. Basically it meant she didn't want to cook and she pulled a bunch of junk out of the fridge and told us to figure it out. I think she thought if she called it fun, we would fall for it. Little did she know her children were freakin geniuses and we saw right through that one.
By what? A day? a second?
(since babycow and peej aren't here, I have to give you a hard time in their honor)
AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I am going to keep you around afterall. That was a goog one. I'm seriously still giggling.
