Last summer, I bought a small box of "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" from the Harry Potter books. If you aren't familiar, these boxes have nice flavors like lemon drop and blueberry, but also earthworm, soap, black pepper, vomit, rotten egg (in my opinion, the worst), pickle, sausage. . . It is truely disgusting. I shared some of these lovely items with my sister and in-laws. But really, the fun can only last so long (for adults - good sports might I add). When this box fell out of my cupboard yesterday morning, I thought to myself, when am I ever going to eat these. And then, of course, I realized I teach 7th graders.
So, I took them to school and at the end of the last hour of the day on Friday, I invited anyone who was interested to partake. These kids stood with their hands out for about 10 minutes waiting while we watched one person at a time eat one with their eyes closed and then laughed and laughed. (They really stood there with their hands out that whole time - weird) It was hillarious and I had just enough for everybody to have one. A perfect ending.
I love my job.
