Answer 2

This is not a mom thing. It was worse- a room full of eighth graders played this one on me.

When I first started teaching, the discussion in class got around to snakes somehow. Everyone was talking about their fear of snakes, the sounds snakes make, etc.
After we were back to our English lesson for about 15 minutes, there was this loud hissing, grating noise that started on one side of the room and quickly traveled to the other side of the room. A kid screamed, "It's a snake!" I screamed and jumped. The whole class just cracked up.

It seems that it was a well-executed practical joke. They had planned the conversation and while I had my back to the board, they had extended, very quietly, one of those metal measuring tapes on the floor all the way across the room. Then they hit the button to retract it, it hissed across the room, they screamed, I screamed jumped-- all in all a great practical joke on the new teacher. They were very proud of themselves, and I got a good laugh when my heart stopped racing.

No tricks what so ever !

You ate what was on your plate or you went to bed hungry, though you had to sit quietly at the table until the parents were finished. You would THEN get to eat it for breakfast.

I'll eat darned near anything.

What a blessing for this homeschooling mom! because of the fact then, my hubby makes use of it too while his innovations is working extra time. it works for him besides. He each now and then additionally makes use of L-Tryptophan (as somebody pronounced above.) that is recent in milk and turkey. It stops his under pressure Leg Syndrome besides as helping him sleep. Please supply it a try. i think of you would be thankfully shocked. .
