The Sharpie Marker

On the last day of school this year, I was sitting against lockers signing students' yearbooks. A student comes up to me and says, "What would you do if I wrote on your head?" I was half paying attention and shrugged my shoulders with a little laugh. The next thing I know a smiley face was being drawn on my head. So started the line of kids waiting to make a mark on my bald head. A day I'll never forget and a testimony to how comfortable these students have become with someone who is a little different. I love these kids!

Wonderful! How long did the marks stay on your head?

Hey Jill, that's brill! Should I say, "write on"??
Of course, you know what this means... if for whatever reason at school there's no blackboard available.... :)

Blackboard! Too funny! It took 3 good scrubbings over a 24hour period to come clean.

Well, Jill, you carry on like this and soon you'll be the "head" teacher...... ooooh, sorry..... couldn't resist... :)

Actually, I've just remembered what your pix remind me of - it's that Jim Carrey film, "the Number 24" where he's covered in "24"s. (I think it's the one where he's an obsessive Keifer Sutherland fan, or something.)

You do look kinda cute, though... if only you'd been around when Moses went up the mountain, you'd have saved him having to carry those chunks of stone about.... :)
