middle schooler or a monkey same thing it s testing season here in florida which means students have to spend many days following a block schedule and staying in the same classroom for hours on end after the students complete the test they need to remain seated and silent so as not to disturb anyone else who may still be testing the only respite from the suffocating boredom is going to the bathroom i mean they rarely actually need to use the facilities i ve written about that here but they like to go to the bathroom as in leave the classroom on an adventure that has nothing to do with number 1 or number 2 yesterday while administering a test a student asks to go to the bathroom much like seeing someone yawn this sets off a domino effect wherein a never ending line of students await their turn for the bathroom i stand by the classroom door waiting for a student s return before allowing another to go to the bathroom as i watch the kid comes down the hallway his arms flailing wildly above his head while he does some sort of walk that makes him look like a marionette being controlled by a drunken monkey as he gets closer i see he has the clear plastic wrapper from a fruit roll up plastered across his face this inspired me to mentally record the interesting and creative ways middle school students ambulate another student walks up and asks can i get nature s perfect hydration being fluent in middleschool ese i understand he wants to go get a drink of water this kid skips to the water fountain and back the next student who returns from the bathroom is making a face that looks like a cross between mr bean and a naked mole rat why you ask because he s 12 the following student to leave the classroom has pulled her arms inside her sweatshirt and is sort of swinging the empty arms of the shirt up and around her head like one of those inflatable noodle things you see outside car dealerships then a student goes to the bathroom and upon her return she s looking through her hands as if they re binoculars sometimes it s hard to find your way back to your classroom maybe this helps her the next student engages in the most common middle school walk slowly scuffing their feet along i don t know if it s the popularity of slides and crocs or if earth s gravity has changed in such a way that it simply takes too much effort to actually lift one s foot but kids today cannot seem to pick up their feet when they walk this is followed by the famous jump and try to smack the exit sign maneuver wherein a 4 1 2 foot kid proves that not everyone can dunk like jordan speaking of jordan the next student leaves the bathroom spins around and does a lay up with a wad of toilet paper while shouting kobe a while later a student returns from the bathroom with his eyeglasses on upside down i shudder to think what kind of harrowing experience he had in the bathroom to return so disheveled next a kid who has been hitting himself in the ear for unknown reasons i make a note to check in with him later to make sure he isn t hearing voices or anything asks if he can go to the bathroom because he thinks his ear is swollen and i have so many questions do you not know that repeatedly boxing your ear may make it swollen how is draining fluid from your bladder going to make the swelling in your ear go down i m genuinely confused i let another boy go to the bathroom on the way out the door i thought i heard him say i need to put water on my head that can t be what he said right he returned 2 minutes later with his head dripping wet did you go swimming in the toilet i asked dumbfounded no i put water on my head why i ventured because apparently i like to ask stupid questions because my head was dry came his matter of fact response okay then finally a girl is doing some sort of dance as she reenters the classroom maybe she thinks there s a hidden camera recording her tik tok moves maybe next week someone will do parkour off the walls as they sojourn in the mystical bathroom or perhaps someone will channel the bangles and walk like an egyptian the possibilities are endless with these kids posted by dawn at 6 39 pm 1 comments share this post monday december 4 2023 i ve got an itchy trigger finger no really when you re young you hurt yourself when you do something like skateboard down a hill or jump over a parking meter or fall from a bunkbed when you re my age you hurt yourself doing things like walking to your car in a parking lot looking over your shoulder when backing out or apparently doing nothing more than writing a grocery list that s what happened to me i hurt my thumbs yes plural thumb s i hurt both my thumbs from doing something as innocuous as writing or typing or crocheting or just because i m 53 and body parts simply cease working when you get to this age who knows but both my thumbs started hurting then they started popping every time i bent them they would sort of click in and out of place crack crack crack crack then this is my favorite part they stuck in a bent position i couldn t straighten them by myself you remember when your parents told you not to make faces at your sister or your face might stick like that well i m here to tell you do not make obscene hand gestures because your hands very well might stick like that a couple months passed until i couldn t handle the pain anymore so i made an appointment with an orthopedist who specializes in hands after listening to me describe the problem and listening to looking at my thumbs he told me you have trigger fingers the image of yosemite sam sputtering i ve got an itchy trigger finger ya varmints flashed through my head that s an actual thing i asked the doctor because i ve gotta say it sounds a little made up did you get your degree from looney toons university the doctor gave me a blank stare i m not sure if he was insulted or if he was just gauging my mental competency either way he went on to explain the validity of his diagnosis i can give you a shot in both hands that should help alleviate your symptoms if it works great if it doesn t work i could give you one more shot what are the chances it ll work i mean hitchhiking is really hard right now no one knows what i m doing with my gnarled thumb i held up my hand to demonstrate there s no way to know if it ll work for you or not if it still doesn t work after two shots you ll need surgery to correct it but don t worry it s a simple surgery we put a numbing agent in your hand then taking my hand he drew a line with his finger indicating where he d make an incision it s just a little snip snip and you re all done snip snip huh yeah that s what they told my ex husband yet here i am with 6 kids his jaw dropped a little just kidding the whole 6 kids thing was on purpose blank stare i mean it seemed like a good idea at the time i shrugged okaaay then i ll be back in a minute he left to either get the injections or to beg another doctor to take over so he didn t have to deal with me anymore apparently his colleagues beat him at rock paper scissors because he was the one who returned with a couple syringes shots don t typically bother me but holy crap they hurt it felt like i was being injected with a mixture of hot sauce lava and evil my thumbs blew up like harry potter s aunt marge i m happy to report that a couple weeks later my thumbs were all good to go now i have no more pain popping or locking until i do something crazy like stir a pot of spaghetti and dislocate my wrist that is posted by dawn at 5 39 pm 2 comments share
