There's no Hope left here

We have a very informal school atmosphere.  All the teachers are referred to by first name with a title.  Miss. First Name. 
Our school secretary's  name is Hope, so to all students and teachers she is called Miss. Hope.  Today there was an all call for Miss Hope who had left the office for lunch. During my kindergarten class I hear over the intercom "Miss Hope can you come back to the office for a phone call?"  I was in the middle of the story so I paused while the announcement was made and then started to read when it was over.  But then I noticed a student who had gotten out of her seat and started walking to the door. 

Miss Honey:  "Hope, where are you going?"
Hope:  "To the office, they called me."
Miss Honey:  "No sweetie, just sit down, that wasn't for you."

It took me a few minutes before I could finish the book!

Ironic T-Shirt II

I love shows like South Park and Family Guy.  I don't dare tell my students that I watch and like these shows because in the a perfect world they would not be watching these shows.  Sadly I live in the real world and my students are watching these shows and many even worse that I refuse to watch. 

The other day I saw a third grader wearing a Family Guy shirt.  I almost laughed out loud.  Of course if you didn't watch the show then you wouldn't get the shirt, so I had to pretend that I didn't get it. 

It was a picture of Stewie and Brian in a canoe and underneath it said "Paddle Faster I Hear Banjos"
