Nice pictures, interesting conversation !!
I LOVE these, Tamar! Having a third-grader it all rings true! Just laughing! Enjoy your dates with the weather man!
I love them! Oh they can twist things, can't they.
Ha ha! You do get a little recognition from the weatherman now and again. Hmmmm? I'm dying at the bathroom comment because it is so true. Oldest trick in the schoolbook.
I had no idea you were dating the weatherman! :) Too cute!
Tamar, thanks for sharing these, always so delightful. Bless you for being a teacher.
I think my favorite was the kid who replied to your divide with conquer! My next favorite was the bit about chicken not being considered meat like beef is. One of my friends said to me "Have you ever seen a chicken drink milk?" That prohibition is silly and she was raised Chabad.
lol these are brilliant! Esp: 'MS BENJAMIN IS DATING THE WEATHER MAN!!!!!' too funny!
Ooo la la the weatherman?!! :) I love these posts! They crack me up! Thank you for sharing!
Lovely pictures, you still have snow !!
So great!!! And yay for your weatherman visit - so fun!!
Oh these are wonderful Tamar… I think this was my favorite though:
me: phe-nom-en-on
kid: mah-na mah-na
me: not quite..
Oh if only I could turn the clocks back to when mine were young and witty and not ...well, what ever the age is that is between high school and actually growing up. Phew!
I hope things work out between you and the weatherman (0;
