SCHOOL SHENANIGANS 5.14.2025
Apparently using the term “cell phone” can freeze the brain of a generation alpha child.

Me: Make sure to include your parents cell phone #
Kid: What’s a cell?
Me: It’s the phones we use today; most of us don’t have a landline. Does anyone still have a landline?
Kids: Huh?
Me: (After explaining landlines) Before my time, my mom had a party line where people shared a line via telephone operator. You guys have at least seen a pay phone right?
Kids: I know PayPal!

I clearly told some unfunny old people jokes because one sassy student passenger told me point blank“you’re being cringe, Ms Perryman.

Advanced recorder auditions are Friday. As we were practicing, one of the kids said students should be disqualified if they put the wrong hand on top. Without a pause, their neighbor said “DON’T GIVE HER ANY IDEAS!”

In other news, the student who shared that he forgets all of his solo lyrics when he leaves school was reminded of the correct words this week by his Mom when he was singing in the shower. TMI, kid. 😆
