Telling Time

I was on an International Studies trip in Taiwan and my fellow students and I were given a few hours to site-see and shop. We were told to meet outside the temple gates at 5 pm for the bus back to dinner and the hotel Most of us stayed together so that we wouldn't get lost, but a couple of the guys went looking for tea sets for their mothers. Needless to say, they were late getting back and we left without them. Thank goodness they had a business card from the hotel because they had lost track of time and had gotten lost in the shopping alleys. The taxis are very inexpensive in Taiwan and the taxi driver knew where to take them based on the hotel business card, so they didn't have to pay a lot for the lesson they learned.

Learning Young

I was mega-embarrassed once when I was in nursery school. At the end of the school year, we had a pool-party in little wading pools set up in the playground area. The girls changed into their swimsuits while the boys were outside and then the boys changed while the girls were outside. My mom came early to pick me up, so I went inside to get my things for home. The boys were still in a state of half-dress and I saw some of them in their birthday suits. I must have turned beet red and couldn't get in the car fast enough. Some people can't even remember when they were 4-years old, but I definitely remember this.

My freaky teacher at flex

I was sitting in flex one day and decided to go see a bunch of my friends in the room over. So I walked out of the room and my teacher didn't care. I just waltzed into the next room like I belonged there and sat down next to my friends Julia,Gabby, and Ashley. We were talking and the trouble maker, Jared, walked over and looked at my book "On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God" by Louise Rennison. Believe me, it has nothing to do with sex. At that time we had a substitute in the room and Jared called the teacher over saying that I shouldn't be in there. So the teacher yelled at Jared to go and sit down, and walked back over to me and tried to look me in the eyes. By that time everyone was looking to see what I was reading. And then the teacher finally got my "full" attention and said to me "Where are you supposed to be for sex? Oh my lord! I mean FLEX!!!!!" and everyone started cracking up. After he walked away my friend Gabby whispered "SURE, that's what he says now but he told me he wants to meet you in the janitor closet!!!!!". I know she was joking but i cant look at that substitute the same way ever again without laughing!! THANK GOD HE WAS FIRED!!!! Sorry that's rude, but really, he was weird. And he wasn't fired because of that.
