Fall is in the air. When I walk out to my car the windshield is covered in leaves. We're well enough into the semester that students are locked into a routine. We have even enjoyed some midterms already. But with the new semester comes a new series of moments - big, small, awkward, sweet, funny - and all of them campus moments...
I recently paid a visit to the Bean Wildlife Museum because I had a few extra minutes before I needed to be at work and the museum is on the way. Fortunately, I happened to arrive just as 2-3 school buses pulled up, full of elementary children of all ages. The usually quiet and rather small Bean Museum was teeming with kids running around trying to find Russian black bears, "the real king of the jungle," and a deer with tusks. I sat down to do my homework and I happened to be sitting right across from the infamous deer with tusks (the Musk deer - very strange). A couple of 5th graders walked by. The girl was in that somewhat annoying I-really-like-this-boy-so-I'm-going-to-hog-all-his-attention phrase.
Girl (looking at a very small deer and saying in a high-pitched voice): Devin, Devin! Aww, look how CUTE it is!!
Devin (looking bored and disinterested): Yeah. But this one has tusks.
Another group of three girls (a little younger, maybe 3rd grade) walked by the bears:
Girl #1: Oh, how CUTE! This bear is so cute!
Girl #2: Cute? Lady, that's flippin' huge.
Ah, little kids. I miss the funny things they say.

Sounds pretty funny!
Keep those entertaining comments coming! I love hearing them!
That's flippin' hysterical.
(for julie: that's why nobody's laughing:)
Ok, sorry it's taken me a while to get serious with you. I was just surprised when you asked about the mustang picture because I was just taking it. Well, my mom asked me to take some for my dad, but I didn't think I'd ever print any. So I was unprepared for your comments! If you still want one, I could do an 8x10 for $10 and a 5x7 for $5 or you could do all three in a series (the one that says Shelby really isn't that pixel-y) 3 4x6 would be even less.... I'm down with doing things fairly close to at cost right now...
