Minions and Staples

I have noticed that minions have a strange attraction to staples. For example, on Minion, Minion JJ, he noticed that there was a paper on my no name board. He then decided to attack it with my stapler. He put about seven extra staples attaching the paper to the board. I told him off and told him that he owed me new staples--7 new staples. He and his friends thought it funny and he apologized. I watched him leave and then forgot about it, because I had a ton of other things on my mind. Minion JJ didn't forget. He brought me a small stack of staples and handed it to me and told me that we were even. I died laughing and so did the whole class.

My other story about Minion JJ happened around Novemberish time. He was looking at my starter board and then realized that there was an upside down "w" on the board. He got really excited and pointed it out to the class. We were all really confused, because we didn't know what he was talking about. Finally he got up and pointed it out to everyone, and then a couple of kids in the class looked at him blankly and said, "Yeah, that's called an "m"." Every once in a while kids will point out a "m" and tell him, "Hey, look, there's another upside down 'W'!".

On other fronts, I'm starting another super hero task. I decided that it was time that I started another counted cross stitch. I have been looking at my boyfriend and other man in my life, the counted cross stitch that took three and a half years of my life to complete and decided that I missed doing mindless work and I needed to start up on my hobby again. I'm a glutten for punishment. But the pattern I picked out, it is super cool! It's my favorite picture of Christ. Or as favorite as I get, I have hard time picking favorites. It will come in the mail in a few days and then I'll get started! I'm so excited!
