What You Got In There

Hey! What is that room? This? Child nods head. This is the teachers’ lounge. What’s that? Lightbulb goes off in my devious dendrite factory. “A wonderful place for teachers.” Can I see? “No.” Why not? “You might tell.” High interest now. Seven is intrigued. “I won’t! What you got in there?” “You mean besides our PS4, bowling alley, and the Jacuzzi?” His big brown child eyes pop even bigger. “No FAIR!” he says. In reality it is such A drab, unappealing place, I rarely Put my toe in there. It is just a place to Refrigerate my lunch.

I luv it! You had him going; did he perhaps sneak back and peek in?

I doubt it as there was a rumor all day at school about our jacuzzi.

That's pure genius, Caren. You really should run with that idea. It would be hotter than pornography!! :) gw

If we made the Bible illegal to read, do you know how many Bibles we could sell? And people would have to READ them to fully break this law.

It sort of kind of almost happened, however, I embellished a bit for poetry's sake.

I am a devil too; the children know it. And the teachers are starting to realize, I may tease the little ones, but the teachers know whose "side" I am on.
