Lip Gloss and a Ladder

Sometimes you get fancy degrees, and you think you wanna give the ol' ladder a try. Other times, a middle schooler with parents and step-parents chuckles and smirks and asks ya to be her third mom. Or another pleads for the opportunity to implement a classroom punny joke segment that would likely make even Jimmy Fallon proud. Or another points out that she just correctly used a winky face thingy that old-fashioned pioneers called a semicolon to create compound sentence perfection...and then promptly breaks out into a little "My Lipgloss is Poppin'" that is, in fact, a smidge more awesome than Lil Mama's....if that's even possible. Or another asks you for a paint sample from Lowe's 'cause she plans to paint her bedroom the color of the classroom accent wall - you know, just because. Or another goes around the room to give everyone in class a high five to celebrate simply making it to Thursday (That one was my favorite.), and you realize.....the ladder just doesn't get much higher than this. 

Happy Spring Break, y'all. I'm sad we won't be in school for April Fool's Day, but luckily there will be some test review when we get back that the kiddos will certainly think is some sort of prank! :)
