Funny Memory Friday

While returning from the dentist this morning, I heard a song on my Suburban Rock Mom-mobile's radio that quickly brought me back to the year 2000. Picture this: I was co-teaching poetry writing with an amazing 4th grade teacher in her classroom. As I am monitoring and mentoring the students while they try their hand at composing poetry, one student excitedly comes up to me with a poem he wrote. I read it and quickly find myself trying to stifle a laugh as my eyes gaze upon the second (and final) line of the poem: "she left me roses by the stairs...surprises let me know she cares". I look up at the student directly in the eyes and told him that I also liked that Blink-182 song BUT he needs to write something original and come up with something on his own. Ah, ha! Another student foiled again by the teacher that always keeps with popular culture...I guess you could say that "another one bites the dust..."

TGIF and keep it on "11"...
