• Dungeons and demons

  I haven’t updated in forever. Bulletpoints first, then a funny story.

  - Cruise was awesome. Beach, tanning, reading, relaxing. Wonderful vacation.

  - My laptop crashed. I’m now blogging from a netbook. I miss my laptop. This keyboard is too noisy.

  - I officially weigh less than my brother. I’ve never weighed less than the kid. Thank you, trainer. I’m definitely feeling stronger, healthier and more badass. Hubs said tonight that my ass is looking sexier. Its the little things… lol.

  - Hubs and I were both sick, but I’m on the mend.

  - My boss apologized to me. That was awesome.

  Now time for the funny story.

  My FCW has an amazing kid. She is a mastermind at getting in trouble and each time is more amazing than the last. She’s 10 and today she “earned” her way into alternative learning for the rest of the year. How did she do it? By being a freaking badass. Her science class was going to do some pretty interesting experiments. They were going to do the Mentos experiment. You put mentos into a bottle of Coke, and it explodes. I’ve seen it on Youtube, but I’m amazed that they were going to do this in elementary school. Safety anyone? Guess not. Anywho, what could go wrong? Well nothing, but she decided to skip her science class. I guess she didn’t want to do the learning part, just the experiment part, so she managed to do something even more amazing. She bamboozled her way into staying longer in homeroom. She told the teacher she’d worked it out with the science teacher. So she stayed, helped her teacher pack up her room (free labor? Glee reference), then lost track of time. She told the homeroom teacher that she had to go to the bathroom, but really she was going to sneak back to science to see the experiment. She missed it, they were learning again, boo. So she went back to homeroom and stayed as long as allowed, was then asked to go to her next class, which was English. She starts wondering about the science experiment. She really wanted to see it. She still had her experiment materials. Yep, the English teacher let her come into class with a 2 liter bottle of Coke and her mentos. She did the experiment in class and Coke showered everyone in her class. LOL x a million. I have to give her badass props. My co-worker was pissed but I was amazed at the balls it took to pull this off. We were trying to figure out how she managed to do it. How did she get to the Coke, unwrap the mentos and start the experiment while the teacher taught class? I wish I was in her class. LOL. So now, she’ll be in alternative learning for the rest of the year. How do you punish a kid for this? My co-worker still questions how after learning all this how I could possibly still want kids. I don’t have that answer, but I am amazed.
