Actual words of wisdom and words of lesser wisdom heard and seen in my world:

“You never know how bumpy a road is until you drive on it when you have to pee.”

Work related memo (not mine!) – “The meeting is cancelled. We are sorry for any incontinence this might have caused.”

Actual experience: the office supply store doesn’t stock bookmarks. Nope, not the old fashioned kind that goes in an old fashioned book. I had to go to a school supply store and search through the cutesie ones until I found something suitable for my fifth and sixth graders – something colorful, but not childish.

Meanwhile, I’ll reread Charlotte’s Web to make sure I’m ready to teach it. Bring on the tissue box!
