Just because I teach middle school and interesting things happen in middle school.
Today, one of my dinky 8th grade girls was about to get hit in the face with a ball during four square at recess today (private school, so they get recess), so she put her arm up to block it. Her arm was in a cast. The ball hit her cast, her cast smashed into her mouth which was full of braces. Needless to say, the girl was a mess. I hadn't seen that much blood in a long time. She's gonna have two fat lips for several days, I'm afraid. I love teaching.
