Who Gets the Red Ribbons Week Novelties

Red Ribbon Week and I have a new novelty junk for kids’ kit. Pencils, suckers, bookmarks, red ribbons; the kids will have a fit. There is a plethora of choices of novelties this week. but I know better than to give them a choice or a peek. So, I make an executive decision, quick like long-haul truckers. Kindergarten through second grade gets the red suckers. Third and fourth grades get the ribbons with shiny letters. Fifth grade gets the pencils to fight over with their betters. 6th grade might get the bookmarks; they are drug-free but tough. And maybe a sucker too; it simply depends on if we have enough.

Whew! I was really wondering about that rhyme for "truckers." Of course, I knew you would come through with something very clever...and you did!

That's because you have a cleaner mind than I do!

I was actually trying to rhyme with suckers, but I never even thought of that other word.
