Rozey Thorn Trees

About four more weeks until baby sister arrives : )

Student: Mr. Rozeboom either got new glasses, or he thickened his eyebrows... (My wife literally rolled on the floor with laughter hearing about this teenager's comment. I didn't think it was that funny. How about just asking, "Did you get new glasses?" Nevertheless, I gave her dark chocolate for being the first one to notice :)

Laura's discovered that our little belly baby kicks hardest when Laura's holding big sister Sophia in her lap. Yes, the sibling rivalry has officially kickstarted...

So don't do anything foolish like take a careful sip but then cough suddenly into the sip hole so violently that the lid can't hold back the 360 °  blowout of rich, black Biggby's onto you and whatever beloved property or persons might be in your immediate vicinity. (Note: nothing and no one was harmed in the making of this public service announcement, except for my ego. Thank goodness.)

Student: Is it Thursday or Friday today? Me: I'm so sorry to break it to you, but it's Tuesday. Student: Oh. (It's going to be a long week for that poor boy...)

Student: It would be great to say that I've played polo. It's so hoighty-toighty. Me: I've played polo. Student: You've played polo? On a horse with a polo stick?! Me: Marco...Polo! Haha... Student: That's not funny.... (Believe me, I know it's not funny. My name is Mark, but I was born Marco...)

Have you ever pulled up to a McDonald's drive-thru window with your wallet out ready to pay for a cup of coffee and a muffin but then had the teller tell you to put your money away because the driver in the car in front of you who just paid your bill is a former student of yours? Well, I just did, and it felt awesome! Thank you, Sam Fagerstrom : )

Me: Thank you for your birthday treats yesterday. Student: Your problem. Me: Uhhh. Student: I mean you're welcome.
