*note: an element of this story is fictitious. Primarily the part in which a student employs the word of the day correctly.
ReplyDeleteHaving completed two and a half hours of afterschool, I released my children into the wild. However, 45 minutes later as I was preparing to leave the building I found one of my students wandering the halls. She had apparently forgotten the way out of the school she had been attending for the past eight months.
When I asked her how this was possible, she replied "But mii-iiis! This building is like a mother effing labyrinth!"
I used mine in an AIM convo to my coworker.
