What It Actually Said

Few people understand why I am usually in a good mood, and even fewer know why. The simple truth is that I am dyslexic (joy). Consequently I read things wrong all the time. This usually makes me laugh as I recheck what I read and compare the two. Thus I create "WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAID"

It said "PSM Pantry"
I read "PMS Pantry"

(It made way more sense to donate to that one.)

What he said "Soccer for life."
What I heard "Sucker for life."

What it said was "Royal Port Rush Drive"

What I read was "Royal Pain Push By"



What she said was "Better to be a little over dressed than a little underdressed."
What I heard was "Better to be a little over dressed than a little undressed."



What it said was "Loveless sinners"

What I read was "Lifeless suckers"

What he said "Salve mundi."
What I heard "Salty Monday."

What it said "Excorcising demons"
What I read was "Excercising demons."

What it said was "The catchiest song"

What I read was "The catechesis song"

What's better is I blinked and read "The catiest song"

What is in a name?

Given that it's been a long time since I last posted I figured now was as good a time as any. That and I'm procrastinating about cleaning my room. Some of you may know that a few days before Christmas I started my latest job- assistant teacher at an early learning center about two blocks away from my house. I like my commute.
Anyways, due to my new position I have an unique perspective on life- to see what parents think (or rather, don't think) of when naming their little bundle of joy. Maybe it's a sign of the times but should I be worried that most of my kids have names of characters from movies that came out a little before they were born?
In the three classes that I've taught I've had at least one Isabella or Bella in every single class. My first class had three. My current class has only one but there are only three girls. Please note- there are no children named Edward. However there are two Jacobs. For this reason I now believe that Texas is Team Jacob.
Initially that was going to be my entire blog post except for some snide comment on parents making unique names by misspelling common names like "Karizma" or "Caiden" until I got the newest students in my class.
The first is named Jack- yes, there are Disney fans even in Texas- I have want to call him Captain.
The other little boy is named Hunter. I thought this was a particularly boring name... until I realized that every single day Hunter wears camo... camo jacket... camo pants... camo hat... camo shoes... I didn't even know they made those... and camo shirt. It is one thing to name your child after your weekend obsession... it is another thing to make it the theme of his life and wardrobe. Poor kid. What's better is he's got a unique issue with meat- as in, he hates eating it. Again, poor kid.
P.S. Hunter wore a shirt today that says "You call it a mascot.... we call it a hamburger."
