Morning fog

Wednesday 18 November 2009

Overheard from girls in the hallway before homeroom (7.30-7.40 am):

'So I had a glimpse into the world of men today. I was sitting at the back of the bus with all these guys and had to endure all their talk....'

'I am so tired of not wearing pants' --girl in leggings

'I hate this f-ing school.' (She actually said 'f-ing', not the whole word!)

'I have my book. I mean I do not have my book.'

'My God, will they make something edible for lunch?'

'Look how clean my locker is. It's ridiculous.'

'So I'm a part of the devil because I borrowed his socks. Don't talk to me-- I'm the sock devil.'

'Don't tie it too tight. I'll asphyxiate myself.' --girl getting help putting on scarf.

'This room is still locked? Your tax dollars at work.' --Jessy. (The girls' room in our wing has been out of order for about 4 days straight.)


And read as part of the homeroom morning announcements:
'The life of a nation is only secure when those in it are honest and virtuous.' --Frederick Douglass
