A funny thing happened at my desk today...

Tension is at an all time high around school these days.  My students have been wearing their tiny little fingers to the bone with all the "stuff" I have been giving them these days.   Sooooooooo... in the midst of all the quiet in the room today--(which at first led me to believe I was in a dream world), I decided to do something to try to at least put a dent in their stress level.  
     I was at my desk working away when suddenly... I hollered   "OH, MY GOSH !   THERE'S A MOUSE ON MY DESK !!!!! "  Of course, my students squealed and shrieked in panic.    Then they looked at me and I was collapsing on my desk laughing so hard I almost needed a bathroom pass.  
     When I had all of their attention, I simply held up my computer mouse by its "tail" and let it dangle from my fingers.... The look on my "darlings" faces was priceless !   I enjoyed doing that so much I did it every period today !   It has been weeks since I laughed that hard....
     And someday....... sometime...... I will do it again to my unsuspecting students !!!   (Visualize me rubbing my hands together, having a horribly, wicked grin on my face and the theme from "Jaws" playing merrily in my brain.....   )      Exit stage left.....
