Friday FAILS

How many jokes can you spot in this picture?

This was pulled off of my public library website... for the record my library was vote  number one in the country. 


Sometimes the jokes write themselves and other times it's funnier just let the picture say it all.

Here's another picture to give you a frame of reference.

Fault in our Stars:  30 copies total and there are 25 requests.

Fail Fridays

Erinn Fail

I’m a teacher, and somewhere along the way I picked up the habit of walking around the room.  But not while the students are doing their work to help.  No, I walk around when I’m giving directions.  Kids twists their heads and spin their bodies in the their chairs like how ducks follow bits of bread being thrown into a lake.  


Sometimes I have a piece of paper in front of my face, because you know, that’s what I’m reading from.  

No big deal.

Really it was only a matter of time before I walked into a wall.


And I did.


I gave perfect directions.... to a wall.


My students... not so much.  


In my many fails, this one wasn’t too bad,   And I’m not even going to crack a joke like talking to a wall is more responsive than my students.  Because that’s not true at all.  My students are amazing.  In fact when I turned on my heels and continued to give them directions.  They all collectively smiled at me, we shared a fun little giggle and moved on.  


Last time I checked, walls don’t giggle and enjoy a joke.  

Kids are awesome, walls not so much. :-) 


<-- my class without kids.















The wall that got perfect instructions. And in case you were wondering, there's a framed picture of Stitch reading and two pictures of Phineas and Ferb (drawn by my students) and Comic Book Guy saying, Best. Teacher. Ever.   And some pictures of Zoey.

Friday Fails-- Holiday Fails

The Holidays are over, or at least  the ones that count.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the new year should just start the day after Christmas?  It seems like a whole lot of build up, then a week of work and then another day off.  That one weird week annoys me.  But clearly that's just me.

Over my little blog break took two pictures.  One is so clearly a cake wreck. I think it's a snowman with a head wound, which is why the snow is bleeding.  Or maybe that's why the face has been swooshed. Don't know but it's creeping me out.  I don't want to eat it because it might eat my soul instead.


The highlight of my year is the Ugly Christmas sweater.  It's when a  bunch of my friends get together and wear ugly Christmas sweaters.  For the last few years, My sweater was lame.  But not in an ugly sweater way, but just tame, in fact it was pretty cute.  This year I was determined to go all out.  I searching second hand shops around my town.  And I discovered the only thing uglier than a sweater, a sweater VEST!  Matched with a holiday turtle neck and I was golden.

Then I put it on.

I cried.

It's suprising hard for woman who has "ugly girl syndrome" to wear an ugly sweater willingly.  (BTW "ugly girl syndrome" is not a real thing recoginzed by the medical community, I just made it up)

But being the trooper I am, I headed out to the party because I KNEW FOR SURE I was going to win.

I didn't.
I wasn't even a condenter.

I did get grooped by a guy who was reaching around to put his arm around his bros for a picture, and got me instead.

That didn't do much for my UGS at all.

The rest of the holidays went fine.

What was your biggest Holiday fail?
