How To Survive The Classroom

What Happens When a Pencil Meets a Butt?


Listen Later

I was feeling proud after successfully replacing an exterior light… until I dropped a screw into the mulch and my son roasted my bald husband mid-chaos. Classic. But that’s not even the wildest thing in this episode. I’m talking pencil-related injuries, fourth graders defending their moms’ honor in extremely unexpected ways, and the dark, dark rabbit hole of what ER staff have had to remove from people's bodies. (Spoiler: birds. Literal birds.)

If you think ADHD, butt pencils, or savage children might not be connected… just wait.
Takeaways:
What I learned about wiring from YouTube and losing screws in mulch.
Why my 5-year-old’s forehead question stopped everything cold.
A fourth grader’s defense of his mom you truly won’t believe.
The ER story involving birds you will NEVER forget (or unhear).
The ADHD hacks I swear by for surviving literally everything.
