Music

16 Mar

I’ve said it before but, seriously folks. My husband, Josh, is incredible. He is an up and coming photographer in Medicine Hat (the city we live in). Each week, he and a friend of his have a little photo competition that you can vote in. There is a new theme each week and I am constantly amazed by my Joshua especially. Well, this week I was his model and inspiration for his “Music” Themed photo. This is it.

Now I’ve heard everything

7 Mar

I’m subbing in a grade 2 classroom today and usually, that conjures images of sweet little seven and eight year olds giving hugs and all sorts of love to me, their beloved “guest teacher”. Not so today. They were working on their spelling and had a little word search to complete…one of the pretty little girls comes up to me and says, “Mrs. Swan…we found a bad word in this word search…F-U-C-K”….and then she just said it. She said it! Brazenly. I was just like, Ahem. Well, let’s have a class discussion about this…..

When did 7 year olds learn this kind of language? I certainly am not running around speaking like this so, seriously people! What the heck?? I am left reeling from this one. What’s next??
