For the first six years that I taught at Lincoln Lutheran, the only thing on top of my computer monitor was Super Pawn. Super Pawn was an extra. When they sent our order for chess pieces they sent a set with an extra pawn. I put it on top of the monitor. Maybe a month later someone left a bit of modeling clay in the room and I put it on my desk. One day I came into the room to find Super Pawn, and he’s been defending my desk ever since.
This year things have gotten a little out of hand. I like to buy kiddie band-aids for my classroom and sometime during first semester we used up the last of the Dora band-aids. I asked my pre-algebra class if anyone wanted a Dora box. Ben said yes, and I gave it to him. At the end of the class he presented me with 3 “pop-up” Dora vignettes. It was totally unexpected. He could have done anything with the box. He did something I never would have expected. A while later another Ben brought in “Chief’s block of wood” from shop class. I’m not exactly sure how the block of wood fits in.
At Christmas my mom gave me some Tusken Raiders. Much more interesting to have a three way battle on the monitor. There is an ever shifting web of alliances and betrayals as different students make it to the classroom before me.
And it’s Christina’s Birthday. She’s something like 26. Happy Birthday Sis.
Are those shells around super pawn and between Dora and the Block o’ wood?
You are in for some serious time wasting one of these days. (cryptic, no?)
Bribery will get you … everywhere! (quote from a former boss)
(said in a whisper) Hover your mouse over the picture.
(said in a whisper) What are you guys talking about?
There are captions to the pictures. You have to put your mouse cursor over the picture to read it.
Shouted out loud: PEGGY’S PULLING YOUR LEG, BETH! THERE’S NO EASTER EGG!!!!
whispered yet again: Sorry, Peggy.
I imagine Dora would have an advantage because of her size, but a disadvantage because of only being two-dimensional. And not having legs.
Her main weapon is her constant yelling.
AMEN.
Did you have to spell-check vignettes before you posted? Because if not, bravo!
Not only did I spell check it, I also loudly voiced my disdain for the “so called” correct spelling.
Happy Birthday, Christina!!!
I think you’ve offended Super Pawn. After 6 years of faithful service you bring in younger replacements.
BTW: Love the easter egg!
I can’t find the Easter egg…it’s KILLING ME!!!
Super Pawn was getting soft. He needs new challenges in his life to keep his keen edge.
Loved it. What Easter Egg! Happy Birthday Christina
Thanks for the Happy Birthday! Sorry it took me so long to see it – tax season, ya know. ps – your cool sister bought you the Tuscan Raiders for your Birthday!
