“mr. rust! you’re back!!”
i hear this squealed with joy by two of my girls tuesday morning just as i’m about to speak with our school’s data clerk.
“i’m back! how’ve things been while i was gone?”
“the sub was awful!” “so-and-so said this to that person!” “we didn’t even get to go outside!!” “please don’t go out of town again.” “can we please go outside today?” were among the overlapping responses from these two fifth graders.
“wow – ok, so things are ok, the sub was bad, she didn’t take you out, so-and-so is being nasty… anything else?”
“oh, yeah… ___________ got suspended for writing something really bad on someone’s shirt.”
“so i heard. sounds like ___________’s out for the rest of the year because of it.”
short pause…
“well, i guess we won’t have no more trouble the rest of the year now that she’s gone,” came one girl’s reply.
*data clerk unable to control her laughter in the background*
believe me, i tried. i tried hard. but unfortunately, the moment was so funny, the serious look on this young lady’s face so somber, i couldn’t help but laugh, too.

Gotta love honesty out of a kid’s mouth, when adults are thinking it but wouldn’t say it.
I have done some subbing, and of course, I am everyone’s favorite sub, well, unless they are in another sub’s class. The funniest thing that happened to me was this: http://reasonablerantings.blogspot.com/2006/03/adventures-in-subbing-hilarious.html
