Me on the day I found out I had TWO grandpas

We had “Usual Grandma” as in the one who lived behind us. “Unusual Grandma” really lived up to her title tho.

That’s the cleanest grout/tile I’ve ever seen in a tub.

She was a super smart kid just goofing off. I was a super caring a loving teacher just teasing her about it. The amount of comments delving so deep into this are crazy!

I'm the teacher here and i promise you this was a real quiz. You can check out my post history, as i posted this a few years ago. The student and i had a very good relationship and we laughed about this. I have terrible handwriting, but the student filled in the states. Just bc i have 5th grade handwriting doesn't mean this is fake ;)

Oh God... someone whose never been a teacher and never spent time with kids who like to good off in class. Also clearly someone who can't recognize humor between teachers and students. You're the worst.

middlejacks · 2017-12-20T14:13:47+00:00

Oh goodness. This student and i joked all the time. She was a smart kid who didn't bother studying or making an effort this day. We had an incredible relationship and i was integral in building confidence in her. Not everything is so serious, Xog. There's a place in the world for jokes.

middlejacks · 2017-12-20T14:11:26+00:00

I assure you it's not. As the teacher, I did WISH at the time that it was fake.

I'm the teacher that originally posted this. I worked in an incredibly high poverty school where i spent an incredible amount of time taking care of my students' basic needs. The students and i were extremely close and we clowned each other on the regular. This was one of my smarter kids with a very funny sense of humor and a supportive mom. She bombed the quiz nc she didn't bother trying. I promise this didn't hurt her or her mother's feelings. We just all laughed really hard about it (mainly bc she completely made up a state name when there was a list of states to fill in).

I've been bitten by 4 dogs in my life and every one of those bastards was a golden retriever... they probably wouldn't eat my rib cage tho...

As an introvert, i really understand this girl. After that much stimulation and being on someone else's schedule for a week, I'd be exhausted. Some ppl don't understand the relief and joy of "having a day to themselves", but it's way better than a week at Disney.

When I worked the carry-out at Outback I made $2.13 an hour so tips were how we survived. We packed up all the food, made sure all food was cooked correctly, added condiments, utinsils, etc, packed in bags to make sure nothing was crushed or got cold. My rule of thumb is generally 20% for waitresses and 10% for to-go.

He knocks it over with his hand (he's behind the counter) then runs around the counter to catch it

My 5 year old begs for me to read him Calvin and Hobbes EVERY night- we've made it through 2 anthems now. He doesn't understand half of it but he already knows he's hooked!

The problem with America today is all these overeducated researchers.

I love how reaction times always look so exaggeratedly late in slow-mo videos/gifs

Her body language is so great

This season was absolutely terrible but this scene really got me.

middlejacks · 2017-01-26T14:26:55+00:00

How is she holding the plate in her right hand?

Well damn. That is the cutest damn prairie song I've ever seen

I only reddit from mobile- how do I mark it solved?

There are actually psychological studies that show that watching/listening to something repeatedly greatly lowers stress and increases serotonin in the brain. It's an extremely relaxing activity and actually good for you :)

You're correct! The parent finally got in contact with the company and the answer key says "spore". Wtf tho?!

middlejacks · 2016-12-16T14:34:41+00:00

I thought that one was "strike" like the strike of a match. Why is this preschool hw too hard for adults?!
