Home sick

I'm home sick. I have some crud that's making my chest congested and i'm coughing up some nice stuff.

First time I called in sick for work and I was nervous doing it.

Kids hate subsitutes.

Gambool

Couple things

1) I teach 6th Grade

2) I play poker

So when a few kids come up to me today in the halls and asked me if I gambled, I honestly thought they must have heard one of the teachers talking about my poker prowess. I told them I don't gamble. Which is kinda true... if you play me poker, then you are gambling. :)

So later I continually see boys running into the bathroom and coming out as if they did something wrong. During the break between 6th and 7th period class I walk into the bathroom and there on the floor are three 6th graders, spread eagle, throwing dice against the wall. These high rollers are even gambling with real money. There were nickles and quarters on the floor.
