Tom the Dancing Bug hits the nail on the head AGAIN!
Middle school was funny, but why oh why is the science teacher in a public school telling the kids god made this, and god made that?
Mr. Smith, have you ever eaten a penguin? If they're birds how come God to didn't make them to fly? Ewww, I hate those meeces to pieces. Can you put tectonic plates in the dishwasher?
Happy Friday Miss C!
First instance, he was quoting a little girl who said that God made something. Second instance, he said a flathead "looks like" God took a catfish and flattened its head. Not exactly a creation lesson. I've seen much worse in public schools.
Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
Love today's picture, Miss C! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you, Mark! And you as well!
This in the newspaper today;
US President Donald Trump lashed out at Canada - where authorities said more than 200 fires were burning out of control on Friday - calling the pollution “totally unacceptable”.
He wrote on Truth Social: “The United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable.
“I will call [Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney] during the day to find out what they are going to do about it.”
- What happened to America, I am pretty sure the normal response would have been 'How can we help ?'
-You need to get rid of him.
