Mrs. Scribbles

On Friday I wore my Ugg boots to school.
One of my students asked me, "Mrs. Strebel, why are you wearing clown shoes?"


Student: "Mrs. Scribbles" (yep, that is what he calls me)
Me: "Yes"
Student: "My daddy died."
Me: "Oh, that is so sad. How did he die?"
Student: "He got in a fight."
Me: "Oh."
Student: "My momma says he's with the devil."

That is so sad! Was he serious? Did you find out if his dad really died?

Mrs. Scribbles, Michael and I just about peed our pants reading those comments! I seriously love your students little sayings! Keep it up kiddos!

Mrs. Scribbles! That's soo cute. Dave and I both got a good laugh about that. Oh and also the Devil thing. Wow!

Is it bad that I think that boy's daddy story was hilarious? I feel like I should be ashamed or something. Are ALL of your students like that??

Does it make you feel old being called Mrs. Strebel? I still don't respond to Mrs. Iverson. But I think I'll just call you Scribbles from now on.

Hi... call me on Rick's phone, which is the same number as mine except put a 5 on the end instead of a 4. My phone is dead... why does that always happen to me???
