A couple days ago a dear friend of mine blogged about her son putting on boots that had been in the garage. He wore them for about 45 minutes when they were removed and a dead, rotting mouse was discovered in the inside. What made him take them off after 45 minutes? The maggots crawling around his toes. UGHHHH! But, seriously, can you let that story just remain on the screen without sharing it? NO WAY! I had to share it with my class. 2nd Graders love a good disgusting tale every once in a while, especially during the Halloween season. That led to this discussion that I thought just as great.
Student: "Mrs. Grant, we thought we had one mouse in our fridge once."
Me: (caught by surprise) "In the fridge? You mean like the refrigerator?"
Student: (as serious as can be) "Yes, in the fridge." He gestured with his head as he spoke those words.
Me: "UGGHH" "GASP"
Student: "But, when my dad moved a whole bunch of stuff around in the fridge we didn't have one. We had four mice in the fridge."
Me: (nearly vomiting the pineapple upside down yogurt I'd eaten for lunch) "Did you eat them?"
Student: "Well, no. We threw them away."
Just one of those things you gotta remember. His mother would die if she knew he had told me. That makes the story even better.
