My Personal Hell

I should have known from the very beginning that I wouldn't remain in the K-12 teaching setting for long. Instead of squealing with glee at all of the buttons, pins, t-shirts, coffee mugs, lanyards, nighties, and sweatshirts covered in apples and books and teddy bears, I take pictures of it to mock.

This place is replete with booths to buy more and more of this teacher swag. The best: A booth selling "fine art" of children reading. I contemplated buying one of these framed masterpieces to hang over our fireplace, but refrained since it wouldn't fit in my carry-on.

I'm sure Emily will be terribly disappointed.

For a second I thought you meant one of your students gave you a nighty. After I picked my jaw off the floor, and read more closely, I realize that is not what you meant.

I feel much better now.
