like brad pitt in ocean's eleven
i’m sure it’s not news for most of you, but i’m ALWAYS EATING! yeah… it’s like in ocean’s eleven, how every scene has brad pitt eating some type of food. my students will pass by my room, and i’m eating ramen, or peanut butter crackers, or brownies, or cupcakes, or i’m visiting the kitchen to see what they’re cooking and trying to snag some for myself.
the rule in my classroom is: if you wanna eat in my classroom, you gotta bring enough to share with me =)
my students also know not to throw away their leftovers if eating in my classroom. they’ll offer anything and everything to me, whether it’s half a pizza or just their leftover ramen. yah, so yesterday, one of my students, TJ, stood across the classroom from me, and then told me that he was aiming for the trashcan right next to me. i said, ok, go for it! and he proceeded to throw a perfectly good uneaten gala apple towards the trashcan. i stuck my hand out and caught it before it dropped in, then i put it on my desk. after i finished my pasta and garlic bread, i started eating the apple right before geometry class.
JH walked in the classroom and then asked me if i ever exercise. i wasn’t sure where she was going with that, but i said “no”. and then she was like, “AMAZING! how are you always eating and not gaining weight?!?!” hahhahaha.... yeah, i guess that is pretty amazing. i’m always stuffing my face with some type of food… and i’m always hungry. what is that about?!?!!
