Challenge #2~Spring Fever~

Why is it in Oklahoma when Spring (my favorite season) begins to arrive I can hardly speak because of allergies? All day long today I heard, "Wow! What did you do to your voice or Get away from me you have the crud!" I would sigh and begin my explanation of how my yearning for Spring to arrive by working in my yard, punishes me by not allowing me to talk or see (my eyes usually swell shut)until after the trees blossom. So as I am walking down my hallway back from lunch today I cough (sounds much like smokers cough, but I have never inhaled one). A teacher began to make a comment and one of my students turns around and says, "Hey, haven't you ever heard of allergies?" The look of shock on the colleagues face was priceless. Moral of story: Don't mess with his teachers!

  2. Glad to see an Oklahoman! I'm originally from Oklahoma, but now I live in Georgia. I graduated from Southeastern State and now teach 5th graders.

    Look forward to more of your Slice of Life stories.

  3. I love that your student felt so strongly about you that he had no qualms setting that other instructor straight! That's really charming.

    Hope your allergies pass soon. I'm definitely not looking forward to the onset of mine, as much as I am craving the start of spring!
