Just a reminder, I'm in peej town.
so all who are familiar with peej town can respond.

I was driving along reading st/mcmillan st today and I saw a cute little boy with a coffee cup. he looked to be about 7 to 8.
He was waiting patiently (patiently meaning hitting the "to cross, push this button" button over and over and over again) at the corner when I noticed something odd.

The back of his pants had a protrusion.
of the handcuff variety.



Is this the new cincy "style?"

Inquiring minds wanna know!

I'm so glad this style has been not only associated with my city of birth, but that said city is also being called by my name. Now THAT is something to be proud of. I need clarification, though. Perhaps I'm just being a Peej. The handcuffs were where? Not on his hands?

Disclaimer: McMillan is the hood.

p.s. I had a student come in with a house arrest bracelet on (did I tell that story?), but haven't had handcuffs yet.

That thread is really long. I got distracted. Can I just say I hate kids names with random capitalization in them. It's even worse when they throw the apostrophes in there.

I don't believe you have. Please tell.

Goooooood evening, people. Thanks again for all the berfday loot! You guys are the best!

I suffered through lunch with CBM and my 2 coworkers today. There was much snarling and gnashing of teeth. And that was just CBM making icky mouth noises while he ate. For a good portion of the time we spent in the restaurant, CBM had a piece of partially chewed rigatoni on his left cheek. As he talked, it kept moving. Waving at me, almost. Can I get a beurk, please? And an ACK to go with it, if y'all don't mind.



Peej, I don't think I've heard the house arrest bracelet story.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Beurk............ ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEURK and ACK!!! That really is nasty.

Alright, alright, back by popular demand...the ankle bracelet story. Why do I feel like I already told this?

The father of one of my students just got out of prison and is on house arrest. Well, at least he was at the time this happened. Idk what his story is now. Last I heard mom kicked him out and we don't know where he is. ANYWAY. The little boy came into school with a black bracelet around his ankle. I asked him what it was and he wouldn't tell me. I dropped the subject. Later in the day I was like "seriously, what is that thing?" And he was like, "it's my house arrest bracelet; I want to be just like my daddy!" He's 8. The thing was fake, obviously. That one knocked the breath out of me. Do these kids even stand a chance?

 

[lalijack]

Thank you kindly for the beurk and the ACK.

And for the house arrest bracelet story, Peej. That's a doozy!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Dang, Peej, sad story.

I thought Montessori schools were private? How do prisoners pay for it?
Or maybe I am out of the loop and dont know anything.. Very possible!

Lynt, yesterday I got a huge black square on my screen, so bad I could barely see anything. Luckily it went away after a while. But it made me think of you your laptop. Hope you get a new one soonishly.

There are many, many public Montessori schools. The school I teach at is a public school. I'm sure there are some in Orlando. I know of one in Windermere. Anyway, this public school is also a magnet school. What that means (in this case), is that if you're in the right zone, you automatically go to this school. It's in a bad neighborhood. So, that's about 1/3 of my kids. HOWEVER, the other 2/3 of the spots are filled through applications. In other words, their parents worked to get them in. It's actually a very difficult school to get into and you have to have high grades and no record of behavior issues. The parents literally camp out in front of the school when it's time to put applications in. So, 2/3 of my kids are well above grade level, very well behaved children. The other 1/3, on the other hand....
Many magnet schools are this way. The pubic Montessori I taught at last year was also a magnet and had a similar demographic of children. And now you know more than you ever wanted to know!

Thanks. PeeJ, I will keep that in mind if I ever have any grandchildren (of which there are none even remotely in sight)

Ack, Marita! Please continue to send warm fuzzy thoughts to the laptop deities so they'll smile upon me. Using this laptop with it's dead spot is like torture! I'm still looking...........

Now you're channeling my mom.

No, I was just telling a variation of the same CBM story that I've told 18 times already this week.

KIDDING!!!!!!!!

Don't make me knock you down with my pinky. Cuz I can, you know.

She loves me, plain and simple. Heh.

Go for it. BA-RING it, even. Kind of like BA-RACK.

How do you get "I love you" out of 1-4-3? Inquiring minds want to know.

I think I have just decided I want to be a SAHM if the offer me package. Except I have no kids at home. SO that would make me a SAH nobody.......Last edited by lalijack : Today at 09:28 PM. Reason: j/k, of course! 1-4-3!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

How do you get "I love you" out of 1-4-3? Inquiring minds want to know.

How many letters does "I" have in it? How many letters does "love" have in it? How many letters does "you" have in it? Get it?

Plus, with me, what's not to love?

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Lol, that feels very elementary schoolish

But thanks for the explanation!

 

[lalijack]

1-4-3 stands for the number of letters in the phrase "I love you". Get it?

The elementary schoolish aspect is the whole point, y'know.



Peej, you don't want me to BA-RING it, savvy?

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Now why on earth would I ever be involved with something elementary school-ish?

Peej, you don't want me to BA-RING it, savvy?

Nope.
