Children

Me: I hate children. (sneeze) They touch things and then give me their germs.

Dan: No you don't.

Me: Fine, I like them like I like dogs, in theory.

My youngest student (I was going to say child, but I wouldn't want any of you to think I'd lost my mind and ventured into parenthood) was coughing and sneezing on me last week; "Andrew, cover your mouth!" never worked very long. So now my eyes are itchy, my nose stuffy, and my throat scratchy. Ugh, (germy) children. Maybe I'll take tomorrow off.

On a much happier, less congested note, Happy, happy 30th birthday to my dearest brother!

I saw one of my facebook friends did 27 random acts of kindness for her 27th birthday - something to consider for my 28th.
