I’ll Take a cookie!First Comment

Can I have a copy of the ‘Crankiness Index’?

I’m with Mr. Otterloop, but I wouldn’t have fallen on the floor by then.

Poor Mr. Otterloop! Like so many people invested with some small authority, Miss Bliss has bloated her pre-school handbook into a massive document of bureaucratic bafflegab.

I never been a rested in my whole life!

I wonder if there’s a picky eater index.

I feel sorry for the kinder garden teacher but then she should know better.

Dad stoped listening after he fell asleep.

Mr. Otterloop is a prodigy at page 142.

The one thing I got from “meet the teacher” night, was to get there 45 min late, after everyone else has been subjected to the “join the pta” donor pledge. They push harder and harder every year

haha, the parents are just like the kids.

A good teacher knows how to manipulate parents

@pouncingtiger – Peter hasn’t fallen on the floor; he’s sitting in one of those teeny chairs.@olfart et al. – Thanks – I didn’t catch the pun in “A Rested Development.”

This reminds me of the papers they send home with our first- and fourth-grade kids.

Wait until she gets to pages 276 thru 2164 on test scores.

Pre-school is so complicated!

Is that Dil’s mom? I know they are sitting where their kids sit but Mr. Otterloop is sitting in Dil’s spot

Page 64 – is that nose blowing in your sleeve? Don’t grab anyone’s arm.

“toward a rested development” classic

this is the stuff that won Richard the Reuben award. Funny stuff.

Boilerplate: Accumulated wisdom that never changes.

The highest level on the crankiness index is known as an “Alice.” Why? Well, no particular reason….
