Apparently they were playing 'turkey tag' in PE yesterday...before you ask, 'turkey tag' is like regular tag, only you have to tag said person with a 'turkey' (which in this case was a rubber chicken because they didn't have a turkey).
Zeke was the tagger, and he got a little frustrated because he couldn't get a couple of people.
So what does Zeke, in all his Zeke-wisdom, do?
He chunks it at people.
The PE coach got onto him, and his response was something to the effect of 'You never said we couldn't do it like this!' (although knowing Zeke it probably sounded more like, "WHY?!?!? YOU NOT SAY I CAN'T DO DATTTT!!")
So know the PE coach knows he has to be explicit in his instructions.

Journal-11/2
I'm substitute teaching (yay money!) and I'm to a few conclusions:
1. It'd be nice if teachers left warning labels for some of the kids...I'm going to be slightly melodramatic here...but it'd be nice to have a list of things like "This kid is a clepto, watch your purse," "This one will talk your face off", "this one hates everyone but herself." Those are things that would be nice to know.
2. The principal at the school I normally end up at was my high school science teacher (and if you ask him, my favorite teacher ever). His 'death ray eyes' that we swore could steal your soul are still the same when he's about to have a come-to-Jesus with a kid. I found humor in that. It could've been because I was really tired and slightly delirious that day.
3. The chance of you working at a school seems to increase if you're named Kim, it seems.
4. I can appreciate 1st graders because I have no filter either. (like the kid who, when I asked them to name what happens when it's autumn, screamed "THE TREES GET NEKKID!").
5. I find myself, quite constantly, looking at certain kids and saying to myself 'If this is what I was like in (insert grade here), then no wonder that teacher yelled at me.'
6. There is still no such thing as a stupid question. There is a such thing as a 'lack of brain' question, or a 'completely irrelevant' question, or even a 'Let me let you think about what just came out of your mouth and try asking that again' question.
7. I hate it when I'm unaware that the clock is fast/slow.
8. I have a greater understanding as to why my mother is exhausted most days.
9. I only want to sub for the PE coach so I can wear pants/shorts with elastic in the waist and not be judged.
10. Teachers are still some of my favorite people.
