For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 27, 2010

… the plague?

Ain’t that the truth?

I hate the first month of school. Even at the college level, the kids are plague carriers…

I hade a grade school teacher tell me two things some years back… 1…if a teacher survives her first year teaching, nothing can kill her but a bullet.

being a grade school teacher is one of the most effective forms of birth control known to man.

John, don’t ask, you’ll find out, soon.

On an application for volunteer work at the hospital I was required to submit proof of measles and mumps vaccination. Sorry, I was born too soon. Do you want to see my mother’s one arm to prove she was born to soon for SALK? Yes I had measles, mumps and chicken pox as a child. Didn’t everyone? How bouts something serious like smallpox? Oh, you don’t require that? You want me to pay for a TB x ray because I served in the war? Sorry, I’ll go back to literacy volunteers. When I had pneumonia, Mom gave me 3 aspirin. Survived.

@furnituremaker - I agree. My best friend is a second grade teacher and I thought she was never going to have kids. But she now has two little ones amazingly enough. Teachers put up with a lot and should get paid more.

Hey Lewreader, wasn’t the person at the hospital smart enough to know that? I always said if you think the people you work with are stupid, remember the same ones work at hospitals and other places where you life and health is at risk.

my grown daughter is always bringing germs from her 2 yr old day care kids. Please keep it to yourself.

LOL, howtheduck!!! I’m with you! :-)

The really gross-looking plague words floating above their heads look way worse than the actual symptoms they’re displaying. Yuck!!!!!

:-P

I know how the kids feel!

That’s how life was at our house by mid-September, and it lasted until sometime in November. :P
