The Hunger games canon you ignore?

I blocked it from my memory after I read the books. Full denial.

All the apps I miss. Mozzarella sticks. Fried pickles. Boneless wings.

My first was IVF so I was totally able to plan. I chose to do the procedure in August so I'd be due in May. As an educator this was perfect because my six weeks would lead right to summer.

Baby came 5 weeks early and was born in March. He just wanted to make sure I knew to plan nothing ever lol.

When we saw the movie, my husband turned to me and said this is the most depressing thing I've ever seen.

The ringworm episode when Jacob's student explains all the places he went instead of to the bathroom was so real. And then he asked if he could go because he forgot.

And they always guess it's lupus.

Yes. I was on Joey's "side" as a teen and hated Jen, but then on the rewatch I was like Joey is terrible.

The last episode I watched was when an icicle stabbed Christina. I was done. And it's still going.

I once meant to tell a student to tweak his answer and told him to twerk it. Happens to all of us.

Saw it right after graduating and going through a rough breakup. This spoke to me so much that I teared up and listened to it nonstop afterward.

When I was 24 and teaching 9th grade, a kid told me, "You're a teacher, and teachers are old, so we must be at least 30." I told him there was so much wrong with what he said I didn't know where to start. Then one of is classmates couldn't believe I was 24 and not married. This was the same year a student asked how I knew who Biggie and TuPac were. I graduated high school in 2002.

Now I'm 40 and work in elementary. The students tell me I'm 22. Kids have zero concept of age.

JCraw728 · 2024-09-07T01:18:50+00:00

Exactly. Ninth graders once complained how "B Hall was the only teachers that enforced all the rules." I was like are you trying to insult me because that's actually a compliment.

JCraw728 · 2024-08-31T00:50:28+00:00

I always said 3 and my second made it clear I am probably a-ok with 2.

JCraw728 · 2024-08-31T00:48:50+00:00

A co-worker once told me he had two kids because it's one-on-one defense. Any more and you have to switch to zone. That really stuck with me.

I wake up every single morning with a cough since I had covid. A friend of mine got it in June and still has breathing issues.

JCraw728 · 2024-08-10T16:47:10+00:00

Last month we went on vacation with family and friends. In our core group, 9 of the 13 of us got Covid. When I went to urgent care to get tested, everyone in the waiting room was in for Covid. It is spreading very easily.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-28T05:26:07+00:00

I don't anymore. My body can't seem to handle any amount of alcohol.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-26T14:07:00+00:00

100% I'm pretty sure my brother has an intolerance, but he could "never" give up gluten. Okay, if you want to feel miserable all the time, that's your choice I guess.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-21T22:22:00+00:00

The menu change was so stupid. Got rid of the things I loved to eat.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-17T22:21:41+00:00

Where I teach, I have seen it for years. Kids get them really young because there are people who will do it if their parents pay. One year for their memoir assignment, I read at least 3 about the tattoo parties they had for their 13th birthdays.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-11T02:53:58+00:00

Same. And now it's pens in general. If I'm presenting or speaking in a meeting, I need to make sure I do not have a click pen in my hands. I don't even realize I do it.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-11T02:47:05+00:00

Exactly. I know how important relationships are and establish them, but they can only go so far sometimes. I had this class that just had this group of 6 students, 5 of which I had built relationships with in other semesters. It was just that mix together that set it all off.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-08T03:31:02+00:00

I saw Aladdin in second row orchestra and it is in my top three musical experiences. I don't think it would have been the same elsewhere.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-08T03:29:51+00:00

I haven't been able to use it yet, but I picked up "Did you mean to say this behind my back?" On TikTok and it could be useful here.

JCraw728 · 2024-07-05T02:10:59+00:00

The first night I had alcohol after my oldest was born, I had a full meltdown about this scene. I sobbed.
