... cast my memory back to that childless period that my husband calls BK (Before Kids). Back when, for all we knew, the acronym PTA stood for Pizza Takeout Activities. We were young and ignorant then. But in the fullness of time, we became fruitful and multiplied, and lo, we brought forth fruits who had the temerity to exhibit a need for education. And so, we sent them to school. That's when my adventures with the Parent Teacher Association began. And that's when I realized I'm probably not cut out to be a PTA mom. Don't get me wrong. PTA is a worthwhile organization. God bless the moms who donate their time and talents to the schools.

Child's Cowboy Boots The Cowboy Boots: (Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this) Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots? He asked for help, and she quickly found out why he needed it. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost cried when the little boy said," Teacher, they're on the wrong feet" She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as, together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet. He then announced," These aren't my boots." She bit her tongue, rather than scream at ...

... Dear Science Teacher Dear Science Teacher: My son has asked me to write you to explain why his assignment will not be turned in on time this morning. As it was explained to me, the experiment he was to conduct involved a re-creation of Pavlov's study of" conditioned response ," in which dogs hear a bell when they are served dinner and eventually come to associate the sound with food to the extent that they drool whenever they hear a ringing noise. (Frankly, I had reservations over the idea that my dog would start slobbering whenever I received a phone call, but choose not to express my doubts in the name of scientific progress) Here are my own observations of how the experiment proceeded. Step One: Son gathers kibbles in a small bag. Dog expresses immediate interest, racing over to regard boy with frantic expression. Son scolds dog for drooling before the experiment is even started. Sister shrieks that dog slobber is gross. ...

She called on Mark, who got the problem but there was some suspicion his girlfriend, Lisa, whispered it to him." Who would like to do the third problem, division ?" Now a low collective groan could be heard as everyone looked at nothing in particular. The teacher called on Suzy, who got it right." Who would like to do the fourth problem, multiplication ?" Johnny's hand shot up, surprising everyone in the room. Mrs. Johnson finally gained her composure in the stunned silence." Why the ...

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether" computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that" computer" should definitely be of the Feminine gender (" la computadora "), because: No one but their creator understands their internal logic; The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later ...

... disapproval. The delivery of withering disapproval is another one of those manipulation methods at which I excel. And when my kids were younger, it used to work quite well. But with the onset of puberty, teenagers seem to develop immunity to parental opinion. All those raging hormones spin around them a cocoon of indifference and stuff their heads with what I call “ Charlie Brown cotton ” You know how all the characters in the Peanuts cartoon only hear the words of their teachers as “ wa wa wa wa ?” That ’ s Charlie Brown cotton, and I ’ m convinced that ’ s what is clouding the judgment of my own cast of characters. Why else would they not want to spend time with people as fascinating and fun as their mom and dad? To pierce this foolish fog, I pull another arrow out of my maternal quiver and fire off a good helping of guilt. While we moms often wallow in guilt, we are also ...

... Large Standard Screwdriver With Lifetime Guarantee: Let's admit it. There's nothing better for prying, chiseling, lifting, breaking, splitting, or mutilating than a huge flat-bladed screwdriver, particularly when wielded with gusto and a big hammer. This is also the tool of choice for oil filters so insanely located they can only be removed by driving a stake in one side and out the other. If you break the screwdriver-and you will, just like Dad or your shop teacher said-who cares? It's guaranteed. Bailing Wire: Commonly known as MG muffler brackets, bailing wire holds anything that's too hot for tape or ties. Like duct tape, it's not recommended for concourse contenders since it works so well you'll never replace it with the right thing again. Bailing wire is a sentimental favorite in some circles, particularly with MG, Triumph, and flathead Ford set.

Back in the good old days, when my son first got his permit and I was his only instructor, I was the expert in the driving department.

... The Importance of Proofreading It was incorrectly reported last Friday that today is T-shirt Appreciation Day. In fact, it is actually Teacher Appreciation Day. There was a mistake in an item sent in two weeks ago which stated that Ed Burnham entertained a party at crap shooting. It should have been trap shooting. There are two important corrections to the information in the update on our Deep Relaxation professional development program. First, the program will include meditation, not medication. Second, it is experiential, not experimental. In the City Beat section of Friday's paper, firefighter Dwight Brady was mis-identified. His nickname in the department is" Dewey" Another firefighter is nicknamed" Weirdo" We apologize for our mistake. Our newspaper carried the notice last week that Mr. Oscar Hoffnagle is a defective on the police force. This was a typographical error. Mr. Hoffnagle is, of course, a detective on the police farce.

Johnny, the other day I decided to go duck hunting but I only had two shot-gun shells. I fired my first shot and killed two ducks. As the ducks were falling out of the sky, they fell into a tree, where they hit four squirrels and killed them. Then the two ducks and four squirrels came falling to the ground, where they landed on two rabbits and killed them too. But just as I was going to gather up my animals ...

... the Jerry Springer Show-it feels as if it will dive for the bottom at the slightest excuse. Kayaks were invented by Eskimos to be used in their death-wish rituals, and now can be found every weekend on the local rivers, flitting about like giant psychotic water bugs. Fortunately, or so I thought at the time, my lessons were scheduled to take place in a swimming pool, where I felt it unlikely that I would encounter any white water. My instructor, a bearded fellow named Tom, lined up six of us in our wobbly boats in about five feet of water, and proceeded to tell us that our first lesson would be in how to tip over. How to tip over! That's like telling a pilot that his first lesson in flying will be in how to crash. I held up my hand." Uh, Tom? I think my kayak already knows how to tip over" Tom was amused.

One child wrote the following: We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear nametags because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is okay now, and do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but in it they all j ump up and down with hats on. At their gate there is a dollhouse with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape! Sometimes they sneak out. ...
