This past Halloweekend I went to a dance party with two friends. I don't love dressing up and was secretly hoping to fly under the party radar this year so I wouldn't have to come up with a costume.
Thankfully at the 11th hour my friend Brit insisted I go to her friends party and orchestrated this costume:
Alvin and the Chipmunks in case you live under a rock. It was lazy and low maintenance which was perfect for me. The problem was was that if Jill and I weren't in immediate proximity to Brit aka Alvin it just looked like we were wearing ugly sweaters.
At one point we were separated from Alvin. During a brief pause in the awesome dancing a tall guy dressed as a gangster snowboarder (?) asked us what we were dressed as. I explained the costume and assured him he'd get it if Alvin were around (AAAALLLLVVVIIINNNN!!!). Jill then asked him what he thought we were before we told him. He replied looking at me "a nerd because of the funny glasses" then turned to Jill and said "I thought you were just badly dressed." HA!
On another note. I sang the Chipmunk Christmas song aaaallllll night.
Laugh 2:
I just started teaching one period of Geography at a new school. Its been three days. The kids don't really know me and I don't really know them. Today I mentioned one of the other teachers in the building by name and they were surprised that I already knew some of the other teachers. One of the students came to my defense and said:
"Of course she knows the other teachers. Ms. Handy gets around!"
Um.
Moving on class...
Then later I drew something on the board that accidentally looked exactly like a boob. There was much snickering. So there's that.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Funny and funny. I can't believe you don't like costumes, though. You guys always had the best ideas, I think. Clue, nannies. Or was that someone else's genius.
Call me about geography sometime. That was my minor, after all.
You really know how to keep middle schoolers on task. Good job with the boobs. Would you like to borrow (one of) Phil's (many) anatomy textbooks for more art ideas? Just kidding. Love you.
it looks like your "getting around" reputation has preceded you.
And I'm trying to figure out what you were drawing that ended up looking like a boobie.
Thanks for making me laugh!
I love a lazy, clever costume! Well done, Simon! ha!
As for the blunders, I'm convinced that anything, ANYTHING can and is turned into something dirty in a teenager's mind. I live in a perilous sexual innuendo most of the time.
a boob??? literally laughing out loud. and as for the chipmunks, i hope you still want a hulahoop.
