"Nah. Just trying to be considerate. You two are engaged in a conversation. I didn't want to butt in."

no worries, I'm not that formal. but did find your creativity quite inventive made me smile."Nah. Just trying to be considerate. You two are engaged in a conversation. I didn't want to butt in."
… Whew…))He leans over her to kiss her on each of her blushing cheeks before leaning his hip on the arm of her chair and idly rubbing her shoulder. "No need to thank me, that's what friends are for, you'd do the same for me."
Her comments about modesty made him smile, "I'm partial to night gowns... well you know not on myself but, you get it." he chuckles at himself.
Pulls out a piece of paper and begins to scrawl out words on the parchment. He took a few moments, tilted his head this way and that to examine his work. Satisfied he began to fold it into a traditional paper air plane. Once this was done he looked toward BT and gently tossed the plane in her direction. It coasted and landed deftly in her lap. Once she unfolded it the letters would read simply: Glad to see a smile on your face again.
too funny I would have brought it haha.::Smiling as I watch the paper airplane fly across the room reminding me of a favorite true story::
At the beginning of each year I tell this story to my students when I explain that I expect their homework every day. I have heard every story possible, so there is no point in them trying to make up an excuse.
When I first started out in the classroom, a little boy came to class in tears. When I asked why he was crying he said that he didn't have his homework. I asked what had happened that he didn't have it. He told me that he left it sitting on the kitchen table. There were some other papers on the table and his grandmother started making airplanes and tossing them to the kids. The paper that he was supposed to turn in got thrown harder than the others. It went down the hallway and banked to the left and landed in the toilet. After a couple of blinks, I thanked the student for not bringing the paper to class. I checked with his mother after school and sure enough he was telling the truth. LOL

He laughed, "You never know, stranger things have happened, I could make a good tent with it." he winked, "It would only have one poll, though." he mused.
((OWWWWW!!! I just bit the shit out of my finger… gawdang, PM’s… Whew…))
The soft kisses on either side of her cheeks made her smile broaden into a toothy grin.
“I would, and I still appreciate it.”
A moment of silence as she watched him fumble with the notion of wearing a night dress. She looked over Glad with appraisal, raising a hand up towards her mouth, tapping her lips with her forefinger thoughtfully.
“Hmm… I mean… lavender could be your color. I’m not one to judge.”
She winked at him and giggled at her own joke.
As the paper airplane landed in her lap she quickly pulled it open. The smile that had broadened her features finally reached her eyes, and she looked up towards the direction it had come from. There, sat FD.
She tilted her head slightly to the side and admired him from her seat, waiting for his eyes to meet hers, and mouthed the words “Thank you.” She looked back down at the paper and pulled it to her chest, a comforted expression crossed her face for a moment, then turned to concentration as she attempted to refold the little airplane. A silly tendency of hers exposed itself: her tongue snuck out of the corner of her lip as her concentration grew.

A lovely little story, OFten the more obscure the story is, the more likely it is to be the truth, as no one could make that excuse up from imagination!!
Thanks for sharing

I think I knew someone whose dog really did eat his homework...A lovely little story, OFten the more obscure the story is, the more likely it is to be the truth, as no one could make that excuse up from imagination!!

Lol I generally did my homework... except in this one algebra II class where all the points were in the tests HW was worth so little I didn't bother I knew the material and got a's on the tests so.Yeah, I had a kid that happened to also. He spilled some of his dinner on the paper and the dog wanted some. He brought me the pieces and a note from his mother. LOL

I think homework was one of the most frustrating things in the last 15 years I taught. I tried all sorts of ideas from no homework except to study and read to cutesy like projects. To me, homework was about responsibility and teaching student to work independently. But I always gave it some value. I figured if I expected them to turn it in, then it should count for something.
I could!!! My magination is always in the toilet... or the gutter... can never remember which![]()

The toilet is what you kneel over while you are throwing up all that gin. The gutter is what you lay in while you are throwing up all that gin.![]()
