Jack Doesn’t Want to Clean Up
Jack the Bear finally cleans up.
Jack doesn’t want to tidy up his toys.
They are everywhere.
He’s too busy having fun to put anything away.
There are blocks, and trucks, and tracks, and Duplo all over the house.
Jack can barely find his bed to sleep at night.
His friend Donny the Dinosaur comes over.
Donny is uncomfortable. He can’t even swish his big dinosaur tail without hitting a pile of toys.
“I can’t move around freely in your house, Jack. I don’t want to play here anymore,” says Donny, and he leaves.
Jack is sad.
Jack works very hard to clean up his mess. He organizes everything where it’s supposed to go. When he finishes playing with a toy, he puts it away. The house is tidy!
Donny comes back over, and they share a wonderful day.
All that playing has made Jack very tired.
Sweet dreams, Jack!

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
