I think it would be a lot easier
if we just started calling
centipedes and millipedes
inchepedes and footepedes. This
is why the metric system sucks.

Happy Friday Miss C!

I would not call those teachers desperate people. They were given a chance to pick up some cash to help defray the costs out of pocket for classroom supplies. I also doubt anyone there was looking down on them for doing so. It was supposed to be a fun way of giving, but TV shows have twisted perception. I watched Game of Thrones so I know nordic history, or I watched Breaking Bad so I know about the drug trade. Stuff like this used to be common at schools and recreation leagues. Yeah, I know, so were slavery and misogyny and homophobia.
