Today, I gave a lesson on the Declaration of Independence (because we're going to recite some of it in the morning instead of doing the pledge). I was explaining why it was written and then mentioned the members of the committee. I remembered Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, and Livingstone, but could not, for the life of me, remember the other one. I tried singing the song from 1776, but it's impossible with 24 kids shouting names at you (some of which were Founding Fathers some of which were...pulled from their asses, I suppose). So since it was totally not the point, I changed the subject and went on.
Cut to forty-five minutes later, a different subject, and half a new class, they're all working on idioms and I'm doing bulletin board stuff, it suddenly comes to me causing me to shout out, "Sherman! His name was Sherman!."
The kids? So totally used to me, just started cracking up rather than asking me what the hell I was talking about. I think they may have known even before I told them.
Yeah. That's why they pay me the big bucks.
