I haven’t posted in a while, there just have not been any funny stories. But earlier today I remembered one that happened right before the New Years break.
I was standing in the hallway talking to a second grade teacher as the kids who need extra tutoring arrive early. This little boy who is the funniest kid comes walking up to us. He is a short little pudgy kid, he is some kind of Hispanic and is in ESL. His English isn’t the greatest and he has a bit of a learning disability, but he works hard. He says “Mr. W, I got money for the booty”I asked him what he said “I got money for the booty!” I was so confused so I asked again “Got money for the booty!” I asked with fear in my throat “Gabriel, what is the booty?” He replies like I am an idiot “You know the place where you can buy gifts for your mommy for Christmas?” I try to hold back a laugh “Oh you have money for the boutique?” and he says “Yeah for the booty.”
Out PTA was having a pre-holiday boutique full of knick-knacks and stuff and he had brought money to buy something. And here I was wondering which of hos classmates booty he was buying?
