Dang…I guess I am fat.

After years of successfully sucking in my progressively sagging gut, it happened.  One of my second grade students walked up to me, poked me in my belly with the eraser side of a pencil and said, “Man, Mr. Morris…you’re gettin’ kinda fat.” Wow! Kids say the darnedest things…so do scales apparently.  After getting... [Read more...]
