Things Kids Do

Yesterday at school some second graders caught a few black widow spiders and their egg sacks and brought them to the office.  Our office manager, a sane person, ended the lives of the spiders as well as the their potential progeny, saving us all from future problems.

The students were flabbergasted.  How could she?  Even the eggs?

How did the students recover?  They decided to start catching bees instead.

I am going to encourage our office manager to start a blog about things that go on at school.  She sees it all.

ok, I have to comment on this one. We had a bee in the house last week and I vacuumed it up. The kids were screaming and crying that I killed a bee... "on EARTH DAY." So, I instituted a catch-an-release program. I emptied the vacuum into the outside trash bin, allowing it to fly away if it wanted.

Wow, Adam. Two comments to date!

So, would it have been better if it hadn't been EARTH DAY?
