yup

7th grade. we're practicing the verb 'to need' or "necesitar."

This kid says, "necesito a gun!"

fecking hell.

figures

a day like anyother. tortillas, hummus and tea for breakfast. i get dressed and head down to the school to give the kiddies their lesson. As I pull into the parking lot, there is a cop standing in the middle of the driveway, blocking the entrance to the school, his squad car off to the side. He asks me, "what business do you have here?"

"Um...er...I'ma da Espanish eteacher?" i calmly respond. He asks for my ID, my school ID, which i don't have on me. He asks me to pull my car off to the side. He radios into the director of the school to confirm my identity. I look across the parking lot and see other cops, squad cars patrolling the school.

I'm kinda wondering what-in-the-sam-hell is going on!!!!! So i ask him, "hey buddy, what-in-the-sam-hell is going on?"

He responds, "it seems like someone made a threatening phone call yesterday to the school, said they were gonna come on down with an AK-47 and shoot everyone." He continues, "okay, just confirmed you're the Spanish teacher, come on in and have a nice day!"
