plans

I was teaching a “balls and tracks” program today to a class of 2nd graders, and one of the kids asked if they were allowed to draw blueprints–that was her word,  “blueprints.”  I said sure, and got her a pencil and paper.  Here is her work.

coffee table

Every time I walk by this table at work, I do a double take–I always think that the bottle of flavored syrup is some kind of booze.  Now, I’m  pretty sure that same bottle has been there for years, so for all I know, it is booze by now, but that’s not the point I’m trying to make here.

space blankets

No, they’re not body bags.  There was a fire alarm at work today; we keep these bags of “space blankets” in the fire exit stairwells for giving to visitors who don’t have coats with them.  Which was a lot of kids today.  They’re a good thing to have, but are a pain to refold and stuff back into these bags.
