Today I bring you an offering from my husband, 8th grade teacher extraordinaire. He often comes home with stories from his day of teaching. When ever he and my best friend (a third grade teacher) get together, they can't help but to share ridiculous stories of the things that their students say or do.
This story from my husband though, is quite possibly my most favorite yet. While walking through the halls he caught two 6th graders engaged in a rather serious debate. Both students presented convincing arguments for their side. The issue? Who would win in a fight between two Hulk Hogans and one thousand kindergarteners. It may seem silly at first, but think about it- two Hulk Hogans, as the one student argued, would be a lot of raw strength. Then again, that is a large "garden of children", one thousand scrappy little 5 year olds attacking the old washed up wrestler. I don't know...I just don't know.

This almost makes me miss the glory days of 6th grade, when I could genuinely discuss things like that.
Then I remember that middle school was not kind to me, and I don't miss it as much.
This makes me think of that time Ms. Ruddy and I thought together...
What if the children realized they outnumbered us? Michael Gustafson alone could take me out.
I vote for the kindergardeners.
