It was about a month ago that the brother of a past student came to my classroom after school. I’ll call this kid, “All-a-Boy.” All-a-Boy had a sheepish expression on his face, and he was holding something behind his back…not usually a good combination, if you know what I mean.
“Hello, Mr. Z.” All-a-Boy said, stepping toward me. “And how are you doing today?”
I smiled and took a step back. “I’m doing well…what could I do for you today, sir?”
He took a step forward. “Oh, nothing.”
I took a step back.
He took another step forward. “Well, actually, my mom and sister wanted me to give you something.”
His hand whipped out from behind his back faster than a gunslinger in an old western. Good thing it wasn’t really a showdown, or I would have had it. Bullets did not ricochet off of the walls, and vapors didn’t rise from smoking guns. However, I was presented with a cowboy-ish treat…
And the name was unbelievable.
I had no idea that I was so famous.
mmmmmmm Where did they find that?
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny because I saw that just the other day and thought of you.
ReplyDeleteThat is way cool! I haven't ever seen that jerky before! I am going to have to look for it when I go shopping!
ReplyDeleteHow does it taste?
KJ
That is one of the coolest things I have seen! I apparently don't get out much.
ReplyDeleteKris - I think they said it was at the dollar store...figures that my products would only be selling for a dollar...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - I just seem to pop up everywhere.
KJ - I haven't tried it yet. Don't know as if I am ready to destroy such a thing of beauty.
Jewels - Dido.
