Always Check Your Kid's Homework!


Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

NO WAY....one of your sweet little darlings did NOT draw that picture. I think you drew it just to make us all laugh! (UNless you found it online someplace, in which case, please reveal your sources so we can find the funny stuff, too!)

Unless it really is real....in that case, when did you start at HOme Depot? if I had known, I would have hit you up for a snow shovel a long time ago! (As if I ever need one....)

this is the best fwd I have gotten in a long time.. especially since I could totally see it happening to me since I work at Lowe's, so I changed it up a bit and posted it to my blog. My daughter always tells me how she wants to work at Lowe's too with me when she grows up. :) lol

So yeah I am really a great example to aim BIG for my kids right? LOLOL

Now this is funny. How are you? I've been too busy to visit even my sister's blog in the last few weeks, I've missed you.

Okay, she calls and forces me to comment, but you know what I mean. Pass my love on to your SIL's.

Kids always say the darnedest things, and are so brutally honest too!! Oh Sarah, this is too funny! Love you, Aunt Cynthia

haha...very cute! I hope that Rachel wants to be like me someday...I guess I'm safe since I'm not an exotic dancer AND I don't sell shovels. :)

Thank you for clarifying that. I was beginning to wonder what you were doing in your spare time!!

I also got this email and thought it was hilarous- especially for ex-teachers like ourselves. My sister told me a funny story that she heard from a first grade teacher. It involves a little editing but I think you will appreciate it just the same. A little boy was working on a writing assignment and walked up to his teacher and said, "How do you spell P----?" (Male anatomy) She was a little taken back and said, "Well let's look at your paper and see what you got there?" He said,"I already have the H-A-P part, I just need the p---- part." Then she figured out what he was trying to spell- "happiness."

I am proud of you for getting space from the computer and blogging but I have to admit I miss reading them each day....
