i live on the corner of Welfare and holdingmyhandout Ave.

This is a totally true conversation between a 3rd grader and teacher at my school:

Teacher: so, do you live with mom AND dad?

kiddie:; no, i live with my daddy
Teacher: where does your mom live?

kiddie: she lives on....ummmm....i think it's called....welfare

NO shit TOTally TRue

My school is in an affluent suburb of Rochester NY; My school is in the hidden area of the affluent suburb of Rochester NY; No one would believe that 50% of the children in my school get a free breakfast and lunch. No one ever addresses the problems in our school. because they don't fit in with the communities view of itself.

ack.
oh well. it was a funny conversation. ya gotta laugh!
