Alison's Away Message, #5

dear crappy principal from another school that has nothing to do with my own,

you're right. eleanor rigby is a horribly inappropriate song to teach 4th graders. what was i thinking? i mean, i was just trying to do a beatles medley with the kids cuz they like it...children should never have to learn about sad things, and ooooh, the language, my LORD what was i thinking?!?! the word 'lonely' should be banned from the english language and we should only think happy thoughts from now on. instead, i will substitute all the "real" words for "happy" words and we'll sing the song in major. plus, we'll make the song about kittens. does that work for you?


love, alison

New York, NY -- Alison's Away Message #3

The third in an ongoing series:

"Who can tell me if the word 'snap' was forte or piano?........"
(2nd grader, Colin raises his hand)
"Yes, Colin?"

"Forn...fort...porte.." (tries again to get it out"

"Huh? Say that again?"

"Porno?"

My kids are funny.

Albany, NY -- Hooker Boots

More later, now that I'm back up and functioning after last night, which can be summarized in Alison's away message: "Let me just mention this... if you wear hooker boots, people will notice you."

I'm hoping that this evening's posts will include a podcast or two, but no guarantees.
