Each Wednesday, some of my student leadership group and I head out at dismissal time to earn a little dough for our school by selling Smencils.
(If Smencils are not on your radar as a fundraiser, you're missing out. Our school sells them for a dollar and is making a KILLING on them.)
(BTW, Smencils did not ask me to endorse them. I am not even on Smencils' radar.)
So anyhoo, my student leaders are out milling around the crowd of parents, enticing children to beg their parents to buy one for them.
As I manned the Smencil table, one of the younger brothers of a girl in our class ran up to me in a panic.
Him: Why are you out here?
Me: I'm selling Smencils.
Him: Oh, that sucks. You used to be a teacher!
Me: I still AM a teacher. I'm helping earn money for our school.
Him: Oh, I thought you got fired.
Way to have faith in me, kid.

ROFL! You used to be a teacher, and now you've been demoted to Smencil Lady!
Oh, kids are so blunt.
I actually just started a blog about education and life in general. I'd love for you to check it out!: hopehonorandhappiness.com
The gap between events can be filled so imaginatively with kids. And thanks for revealing what smencils are to me, I'll be getting some. You should get on their radar, since you're doing the, a huge favor!
I had a set of smencil crayons before. They are super awesome, it doesn't surprise me they sell so well.
I know you haven't updated in months, but I love your blog and had to mention it in my latest post
