Teachers get excited for the end of the school year too, you know. We also have a lot of hard work coming to an end that we're happy for. On a similar note, we are also happy for school cancellations, as evidenced by my jumping up and down at a phone call I received this evening, telling me that schools in my district will be closed tomorrow, due to the expected 100-degree heat. This brings the number of school days left on my calendar to eight. And I've had that countdown going for over a month now.
I have another vignette to share to end this post.
A month or so ago a fundraising company sent us two of their cookies in the hopes that we'd do our fundraising with them. We already do, but whatever, free cookies! Even though my colleague and I were wary of cookies sent through the mail with fairly flimsy packaging, we each took one, bit into them....and spat them out. They tasted like old dusty dirt.
Last Friday, I found another package from that company in my mailbox. I went back to the choir room and tossed the package of cookies to some students that were hanging out in there, warning them that it might not taste so good. Then I noticed a pink piece of paper still in the envelope.
"OOPS!" was written in big block letters on top. The note went on to say that a newly-printed brochure likely affected the taste of the cookies in the last package, and enjoy a new batch. My laughter at this attracted the attention of the students happily eating the new cookies, and I had to explain to them that their dumb teachers had eaten the old cookies. Oops indeed.
