So yesterday one kid climbed up inside of the really tall tower on the playground and shouted down to another kid named Bracken. She said, "HEY BRACKEN!!! I OWN A PRIVATE GIRLS' LOUNGE UP HERE! WANT TO COME?"

Bracken wisely shouted back, "Um, NOT INTERESTED."

And she called back, "But there's lots of boys up here!"

Bracken asked why there were boys up there in a girls' lounge and she answered, "They're my slaves!"



So after I laughed really hard, we had to tell the girls that having a private girls' lounge and using the boys as slaves was probably not appropriate at school. Another kid insisted that writing his initials on every word study card involved the letters "JEPPSTA". I told him, "No, you're supposed to just write your initials - TWO letters. That's all."

He said, "Those ARE my initials."

I said, "Your initials are JEPPSTA?"

He answered, "Yes. Justin Evan Porter Peplin St. Thomas Aquinas."

Looking at him like he was nuts, I said, "Your name is St. Thomas Aquinas? Like the church?"

He said, "No, my name is Justin Evan Porter Peplin St. Thomas Aquinas. JEPPSTA."

Finally I just shook my head. I said, "Fine, write JEPPSTA, but you only have 25 seconds left to do it. So if you can write JEPPSTA on all 20 word cards in 25 seconds, it's fine with me."

crazy kids!
