A kind of weird day.
At the end of the day, I kind of take a peek through the desks in my classroom. Mainly because kids sometimes leave food in them (yes, 12, 13, 14 year olds) and the janitors don’t clean them out, ever. Also because sometimes they leave behind interesting notes and I like to read them (nosy? yes!). Today? I found two MP3 players. Yes, teenagers can be careless about their belongings, but usually they care about their electronics.
Aside from that, at about 5:30 Rob said “I so want candy right now”. And so, off to Bulk Barn we went. Where he bought chocolate covered raisins. And I found Jelly Tots (disguised as Jelly Dots). Jelly tots have been my favourite candy since forever – but for some reason they stopped selling them around here about 10 years ago. I’ve been in mourning ever since. Of course, I only found Tropical Jelly Dots (Tropical is my least favourite type of Tot). That means I won’t be chowing down on them too much. And that I will be giving Rob all the orange ones. Ugh, orange.
Tonight I am washing my wig. This involves soaking it in a basin of water for about a half hour. Lucky for me it doesn’t have to remain on my head while I do this.
Hard to believe they would leave behind an MP3 player – wow. Some parent, somewhere, is freaking out.
And I would read the notes to because it’d be interesting!
You know what though? Some of these kids? Won’t even notice that it’s gone. Or at least, they won’t be too worried about it, because they know their parents will buy them a new one.
When I was their age (back in the Stone Age) if I had lost my Walkman? My parents would have murderated me.
I know what you mean. We were so poor and if I happened to be lucky enough to own one? I wouldn’t lose it for anything. It amazes me how parents are so blas? nowadays.
