[LM_NET] you can't make this stuff up

[jo turrentine <joturrentine@YAHOO.COM>]

I am in classrooms every morning trying to get books from students due last week. 
 
So I ask a 3rd grader about his books, and he says he doesn't know what books he 
has checked out. 
 
I can see on the white board under his name the titles of the 2 books his teacher 
has written on the board, (thank you teacher) plus I have killed 2 and 1/2 trees 
sending home notices with him. grrrrrrrrrrrr
 
I say, what are we going to do about it. I should not have used the pronoun we.
 
He responds, "You can call my grandmother and tell her to bring them to school. I 
think her number is ....."

I laugh, I cry..
Thanks for listening,
Jo :)
