Absurd

I love teaching. Super love with unicorns and rainbows and glitter everywhere, like LOVE teaching. Not because it's a snap for me, because it's not, I struggle a lot. But I love it because it's so interesting. It's creative, challenging, rewarding, and exasperating all at once.

There are so many things, in any given teaching day, that have a surreal quality to them. For me, none more so, then the number of times people try to hand me their teeth. At least twice a week, a small person walks up to me and tries to hand me a tooth. "Ooohhhhh goodness! Um...here, let me get you an envelope for this treasure!"
