Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Probably and didn’t realize it?
Have you ever moshed with vampires in the dim club lights?
Wouldn’t I say an emphatic yes to that one?
Don’t I wish I could phrase a question to properly express my surprise and delight at this?
Do you have any idea?
You know what?
Chickenbutt?
Do you know why?
What if Why got tired of all the Ruby things and took on a new life as Flossa?
Is this a good place for the big questions?

Will @OtherMichael totally abuse this?
Is it a good thing that certain internet discussion platform authors mute the games threads because they’re too chatty?

Do I ever abuse anything?
That was rhetorical, right?
Perhaps I was abusing myself?
You need to ask that question of @OtherMichael? Is water wet?
would it surprise anyone to hear that as one of the two 6th grade science teachers on my campus one of the 5 classes i teach is a 9 week health unit in which i get a new roster of kids each 9 weeks?
if that doesn’t surprise you, would it surprise you to hear that there’s a chapter on growth and development that covers reproduction through aging and death in our health book?
how would you respond if i told you that my former principal (first 5 years in the building) wouldn’t even consider letting me cover that chapter for three years? and would it be at all surprising if you heard that she finally said i could do it but only if i had a parent opt in/opt out form? oh, and can anyone guess how many of the next two years she was my principal that she sat on that letter without giving me permission?
after my new principal immediately gave me permission with the letter would anyone care to guess what percentage of parents opted out? would you believe less than 5%?
after the first time i taught that chapter can anyone imagine how surprised, no, stunned i was to find out that only 2 of the 23 students had been given any kind of information by their parents about reproduction before that point? i’ve made a lot of questions to this point so you can give me the donald to this statement if you like–the most stunned moment i had in talking to my students was when one of the girls told me that when she started her first period a couple of weeks earlier her mother handed her a pad and told her to call her aunt to explain it to her.
do you think the reason so many parents gave permission was so they wouldn’t have to do it themselves?
