gag me with a pitchfork

This is going to have to be quick, since I’m uber-busy at work for the next few weeks, but I had to share this. I called one of our schools this morning, and got their voicemail, which said…

“Thank you for calling St. Benedict School, where children love to be learning, and learn to be loving.”

Could you just barf?

um.

“…to create a learning enterprise that liberates the genius and goodness of all children and invites and inspires the power and creativity of the human spirit for the world.”

I can’t even read the mission statement any more without laughing.

by which I mean, yes. Barf.

I think it’s great. If I had a school-age child, I would send him there. I would have taught my kid how to be loving already, so he’d be halfway there!

While he’s whipping, an actual conversation snippet from work today:

[Context: we were handed four large bags containing approximately 1 million small bags each, the small bags containing a single metal flag pin each. Assignment: remove all pins from bags. Assessment: sucky.]

Her: Don’t you think these look like drug bags?
Me: [sputtering slightly] What?
Her: You know, the little drug bags. Don’t these remind you of them?
Me: Um, I, uh, guess I wouldn’t know what a drug bag looks like.
Her: You know, like on TV!
Me: Oh.

Why am I telling you this? No reason. Just felt like sharing. :)
