my day=busy

I spent quite a bit of time at school today. First, Proto had a  "Biography" book report about Ronald Reagan.  He had to stick his face in this poster and tell about Ronald Reagan as if he WAS Ronald Reagan.

Then he handed out Jelly Beans*.

Jelly Beans=happy students.

*The Gipper's favorite candy, duh!

An hour later, I came back to school to watch Rooney participate in the Utah Bee.  He was one of 5 kids representing his class.  When all was said and done, three kids had missed no questions so they were awarded a tie for "first place," Rooney along with 5 other kids, had each missed one question, so they were awarded "second place."  Ironically Rooney knew the answer to the question he missed, but he got mixed up and said the wrong thing. He then proceeded to beat himself over and over on the head with his hand, in case anyone was wondering about his "wrong" answer.

Body Language=I really did know the answer, but I said the wrong answer, so now I am going to flog myself in public.

Did I mention it was HOT in there?  About half way through the Bee, Reb had sweat literally dripping off her head (see above picture).  Her little fluffy hair looked like a sopping wet dandelion.  I was pretty sure I would spontaneously combust if I snapped my fingers or blinked too fast.  I tried to hold very, very still.  Oddly, the three teachers in charge didn't seem to notice the heat despite the fact that every single parent was fanning madly with scraps of paper.

Teachers=Hello?  Do you people not sweat???????

The end=finally!
