Used to be Troy State. Now Troy University. My middle son got a business degree there a few years ago. Lori goes to the campus in Phenix City.
Tuesday the students were making 3-D objects w/marshmallows & toothpicks. The school had visitors all three days this week, and there was an observer that went to her classroom. After they got finished with their project, one of the children asked if they could eat the marshmallows. Lori said no, as they were all over the desks, some dropped on the floor, and generally not fit for consumption. She said
" No, they are our tools, and we do not eat our tools."
The Child asked " Well, what about Johnny?"
Lori and the visitor both looked at "Johnny" and he had his mouth so packed with marshmallows that he looked like a hamster! Lori rolled her eyes and the visitor hastily left the room. Later that afternoon the visitor approached Lori and told her she left because she was about to laugh out loud, and wondered how Lori handled herself so calmly...
