Very Funny

  • April 1, 2011 at 8:33 am

I wish there was a sarcasm font. How do you make that point when you have to write in regular letters? “Very funny” could mean so my different things, it depends on your tone of voice and the expression on your face when you say those words. So reading them without the audible and visual clues is hard to figure that out.

It’s April Fools Day. If you play a prank on me, I might say, “Very funny.” But if I am not smiling when I say that, you had better watch out!

School Bus Issues

  • March 16, 2011 at 11:30 am

I wish the school bus drivers would rotate on different routes. If your kid gets assigned to a bus with an unhappy or incompetent bus driver, they are stuck with this driver for the entire year. I cannot stand this driver who comes to fetch my grandson. She may be good at the mechanics of driving a bus, but she is horrible at controlling the children while the bus is in motion. I hear all kinds of disturbing stories about kids getting slapped, punched and kicked while riding her bus.

Spring Break Cuts

  • March 5, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Because there was so much snow this winter, the children missed way too many days from school. Frankly, there were at least 3 days when I think they could have gone to school. But those wimps at the school board declare a snow day if there is even one speck of snow on the ground.

So now the kids have to make up those lost days. They blockheads at the school board decided to cut 4 days off of the spring break schedule and make the kids go to school instead of spending quality time with their families.

Short Month Be Gone!

  • February 26, 2011 at 11:36 am

The only reason I like the month of February is because it is the shortest month of the year. I like a nice, even 28 days, which is an even 4 weeks. I wish the other months were all like this, 4 weeks long and then over. The months with 31 days just seem to drag on way too long.

Broken Glasses

The last few pictures that she’s posted on Facebook show my grandson playing outside, riding his bike, and smiling on the couch. But I can’t help noticing that he is not wearing his glasses in any of them. So I called her up and said where are his glasses? and she just brightly announced, “Oh, he broke them!”

Now, the first photo of him with his glasses was taken right before Christmas. So that means he has gone without his glasses for 2 months.There is no excuse for this – the eye doctor visit and his glasses are free because he is covered under Tenncare for children. So she has deliberately withheld medical care for 2 months. How is that child even functioning in school for 2 months if he cannot see?
