I teach 7-12 grade in Smalltown America and get to work with some of the greatest kids on the planet! Last weeks funny quotes that are just too cute/funny/enlightening to not share! So without further ado here are the quotes! *Everyone has a nickname in my class.
"It smells like Ms. B (me) in here.. fruity and coffee" - Schmalenpine
"You see Ms B, you taught us that ag is a science based field... so it only makes sense that you guys get married" --Mother Hen *One of the many reasons (according to the 7th graders) why I am supposed to marry Mr. Kroeger**
"Hatchet CAN'T marry Mr. Kroeger!! Because then I would be related to him!!" -- Turdus Redheadicus
"Have you had your coffee today?"

Meet Mr. Kroeger, the Hatchet and the Battle Axe
Working in Smalltown America has introduced me to some REALLY great people. And as a bonus to my job I get to travel around the state(s) meeting new people all the time who share the same drive to work with teenagers and impact their lives in a (hopefully) positive way.
Today, as part of the wonderful people I have met, I would like to introduce Mr. Kroeger, the Hatchet and the Battle Axe.
For those of you who don't know (or care) Chad Kroeger is the lead singer of a little ol' group named NICKELBACK. Who on this planet doesn't at least LIKE at least one Nickelback song???? Well this guy-- "Mr. Kroeger" as we will call him -- HATES Nickelback with a passion! He hates them SO much that the Hatchet and I get into regular debates with him that we pull innocent bystanders into in order to make our points (we kinda LIKE Nickelback.) So for this reason he will forever be known as Mr. Kroeger and I'm sure he is going to hate it :D
Moving on to the Battle Axe and the Hatchet...
Mr. Kroeger coaches my Poultry team for FFA (because he's a snob from another Small-ishtown America where they are really good at Poultry.. AND because he is a swell guy and likes to help!) So being the Poultry coach he went on many judging trips with us and we got to know each other a little better. Upon returning from a week of state competition he tells everyone at the teachers table at lunch that I am a "Battle Axe" --what ever that means.. hehe! As you can imagine it got quiet for a second then everyone erupted into laughter (including me!) So as the weeks go on and the "battle axe" begins to stick we are again at the lunch table when my lovely new teacher friend becomes dubbed the "Hatchet" because Kroeger is always making comments about us sitting/scheming/laughing together AND because every Axe needs its Hatchet sidekick !
