Tell me if you think this is mean.

I told a student that he had a mistake on his Sudoku puzzle when he really didn’t. Apparently being a teacher means never telling a lie and he thought he could trust me. And of course he believed me when I told him he’d made two mistakes. He then spent the next ten minutes trying to figure out what he’d done wrong. I could see he was growing frustrated and decided to tell him I was joking by showing him this blog entry. He didn’t laugh as much as I did.

I love being a teacher.

Has anyone else seen this shirt?

While waiting at the airport in Chicago, a slightly heavy-set woman passed me wearing this same shirt. And I couldn't help but lock on my eyes on her "ta-tas". And not for any sexual reason at all. But because of the shirt. I think I can honestly say this is the best/funniest t-shirt I've ever seen. In fact, this shirt makes me want to support breast cancer research even more. And I assume that was the original purpose of the shirt. I'm pretty sure the ta-ta shirt turned a lot of heads during the day. And when I googled "Save the ta-tas", I found an entire site for the shirt. This is some bloody brilliant marketing.

But I guess I'm a little late the concept. It seems that Fran Dresher, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba, and Mario Lopez already hopped on the bandwagon. Oh well. It's new to me.
