Wow, I wanted to say that at a meeting today too, I’m also a public school teacher. I was told that I was going to be working with a child who is very violent 1:1 for 4 hours a day despite the fact that it’s a health risk and I’m pregnant. Where was XY when I needed her?

Very funny.
what a hoot-that wit will be invaluable as a parent!

That’s a damn great line, certainly on par with the “So dark…” comment; I need to be around her more often to get more wit for my repertoire.

So funny! Only in New Orleans. I’ve never had a lively comment like that uttered here. I need to move back home I miss it.
