March Fourth

In memory of Pop, today is the day "everyone steps out."
             (Think about it...you'll get it.)

Pop was a clever man with word play. I'm sure he is up in heaven right now "punishing the fizzle."

Just call me Gru

I went back to school a few days ago after an extended absence of five days. The students were very excited to see me. (but not excited enough to give their naughtiness a break) The day began in a typical way and I was still feeling pretty low. One little girl asked, "Mrs. Matthews, do you need a hug?" I replied, "I always need a hug." She wove her way through the desks to the front of the room and gave me a nice hug. When I looked behind her, almost the entire class had gotten in line behind her to get a hug.

I felt a little like Gru and the minions.
