Here's What I Learned Today
Okay. High schoolers. Are NOT LIKE COLLEGE STUDENTS.
I took away a girl's hackey-sack.
And I can't count the number of times in the three hours I found myself saying, "All the people in this room not named Blurt? Should not be talking."
Also, when it's dry erase involved, I can get it under my fingernails and on my neck -- causing me in both places to look like a construction worker -- in seconds FLAT.
Also, my cat knows how to open the kitchen cabinets.

you think that's bad, i've got a classroom in Paterson, NJ i'd like to sell you! wait till they pee on themselves, then you'll be rethinking it all...
My Man-Kitty learned how to open the kitchen cabinets last night. He also has a new habit of trying to open them in order to make a banging noise. All this in 24 hours (unless of course he's been doing this when I'm not home for longer....)
Anon, (Tony, right?) I do not know how people teach young students ALL DAY LONG...
Dr. C, Your man-kitty is so cute. And yes. With the banging. This is what my cat has been doing too. I keep thinking it's someone knocking: it sounds so sinister.
It took MY fat orange cat 5 yrs to learn the cabinet trick...
Thankfully, none of my cats has figured out how to open kitchen cabinets. However, 2 of the 3 are big fans of gravity - that is, anything on a countertop or desk gets shoved over the edge; this is especially effective when it's a box of cereal or can of something hitting the kitchen floor. One of them is also fond of knocking things of the bathroom counter; the other can pull the bedside table drawers open, and likes to climb on things and bat at framed pictures on the wall. They are genius at doing things like this 1 hr - 45 mins before my alarm is supposed to go off....
The 3rd cat is the good child, who does none of this, though occasionally she does pull the (metal) bathtub plug out of the tub and carry it around the apartment, yelling at the top of her lungs. No clue what THAT's about.
(Sorry, it seemed like a good place to complain about my cats...!)
NK, your cats sound adorable! Of course, I know from painful experience how what sounds adorable from a safe distance TOTALLY SUCKS at 1 a.m. or at 4 or 5 a.m., when a cat who'll sleep ALL DAY LONG is inexplicably, loudly, awake.
