At my kids elementary school I am the PTA president and back in September we had a contest on which class could make the best poster for our Bike Parade. Another parent and I judged the posters and came up with three classes that won and we told those classes that they would receive a treat. We had checked into a few ideas for treats and none of them worked out and then other things kept coming up like the fundraiser, etc. So, last week one of the 4th grade teachers hung this sign right by our PTA box. At the top, it said something like "Dear PTA, just a reminder that we can make really cool posters" and then had a big finger with a string around it to "remind" us that they won and they still didn't have their treat. Around the finger were lots of little ribbons. This 4th grade class actually spent some time making this poster! (Their second one actually!!) So, to play along with the teacher and HIS class (not mentioning any teachers names!!!) the secretary pinned the poster to my back, and she tied pieces of string around my fingers and earrings. I walked into the class and started saying "I know there is something I need to do but can't remember what it is and why do I have all these strings around my fingers?" And then I said, "Oh yeah!! I remember now!" And I pulled out popcorn balls for all the students. They all got a kick out of the treat and me making a fool of myself! Oh well, sometimes you just gotta be silly and play along! Here's the picture of me after I handed the treat out!
