A List

Ok...the final day of school came and went. There was plenty to celebrate and yes, plenty to be cry about. A wild ride it was...and further reflections of this day will come on another date. For now, I present to you a list entitled....

Things Mr. Vest NEVER Has to Say Again:

• "Sit down!"
• "5...4...3...2..1."
• "SLANT."
  
• "I said sit down."
• "Who's talking?"
• "What do you mean someone spit on you?"
• "[Girl student's name], put your wand away and open up your independent reading book."
  
• "Why are you not sitting down?!"
• "No, I am not dating [any female teacher's name]."
• "No, I am not going to marry [any female teacher's name]."
  
• "If you keep this behavior up, I'm going to have to move your name down on the behavior rubric."
• "Who threw the pencil across the room?"
• "'Mines?' 'Mines?' I don't see any coal around here. It's pronounced 'mine.'"
  
• "Is that gum in your mouth? Put it on your nose."
  
• "Line up!"
• "Wake up!"
• "Hush up!"
• "Dear. God. Sit. Down."

Anything I missed?
