Stuff that happened at school: a 5-year FLASHBACK blog!

Okay the first thing I remember is that when a few kids would get rowdy the teacher would make everybody in the class put their heads on their desks for a few minutes.  Sometimes with the lights off.  That was a good system for getting people to calm down, they should use it on Hardball.

Remember milk time?  That was da bomb, chocolate milk in the middle of the school day for no apparent reason.  What was up with the kids that picked white milk?  Did their parents make them pick that or did they just like it better?  If you are reading this and you were ever a parent that made your kid pick the white milk, FUCK YOU.

Milk money is like the first big responsibility of your life.  Don't ever lose that 35 cents, man.  If you do you have to walk home all mopey and scared of consequences.  Remember the kids that had to have their change purse pinned to the sleeve of their jacket?  They would still lose it somehow, forget their jacket or something.

Adult people never seem to drink chocolate milk in unison.  How come?  I guess because they usually can have a beverage whenever they want.  They don't have to wait in a single-file line at the drinking fountain.  That was pressure.  Trying to get a drink while everybody is looking at the back of your head, trying to control your audible slurps, kids behind you timing it...

What was up with kids getting nosebleeds?  They couldn't even go to the nurse, they just had to sit in class with a tissue and their head tilted back.  Do full-grown people ever get spontaneous nosebleeds?  If so I bet they are disqualified from certain jobs.  If you get nosebleeds you can't be one of those English guards with the big fuzzy hats, I bet.

You know what I liked?  CLAPPING ERASERS.  That was a good job because you had to go outside to do it.  and kids always do a real good job clapping erasers because they don't want to go back to class.  That would be a good way to get more things done.  Employers should recognize that nobody likes to be stuck in an office when it's nice outside.  Let people volunteer to go out for awhile and pick up litter around the city.  You can do paperwork when it rains.  If it's nice, go out and paint a park bench or help deliver mail.
