Hey guys - I went to the dentist yesterday and we were talking about Sonicaires. The dental assistant said the Sonicaire representative was there recently and reiterated the importance of using the Sonicaire with a very gentle touch - kinda like holding a flute - or else it is designed to not work properly and will not vibrate like it’s suppose to. Just thought I’d pass that piece of...

Alondra: I'm going to put you, Mr. Watkins.
Me: Ha! What? Why? Explain.
Alondra: Well, you're very clever.
Me: Well thank you.
Alondra: And you're not racist.
Me: Right.
Alondra: Also you're white and you have blue eyes.
Me: Did it say Huck Finn had blue eyes?
Alondra: I like to imagine he did.
Me: Fair enough.

"Mr. Watkins, I'm worried about you."
Me: What do you mean, Clarissa?
Clarissa: Well, you've been coughing all day.
Me: Yeah, but don't worry, I'm feeling better already.
Clarissa: I'm not worried about your health, I'm worried mine. I don't want you to get me sick!
Me: You're very sweet, Clarissa.

He’s more or less cajoling me into posting this, but still. I love him and his mohawk. He will present a picture if inquired by my female followers.
My trip back home was pretty eventful
Lots of catching up with friends and family, driving all over the place in my truck I miss dearly, etc. Which is why I haven’t been posting much lately. Apologies. Let me make it up to you by showing you a picture of the Christmas gift I got four of my little cousins.
They were so excite, you guys. Their dad wasn’t as happy though.

Greg: So you...
My dad is on the up-and-up
Dad: You still doing the site project thing?
Me: What?
Dad: You know- you worked in a garden or something.
Me: You mean that year I spent doing AmeriCorps?
Dad: Yeah.
Me: No, Dad, I'm all done with that.

I told my first class to have a Happy Festivus
And they all looked at me like I was insane.
So I joined the Twittersphere
You know, because I don’t spend enough time on the internet as it is.

Attention all followers:
As some of you probably know (mostly because I won’t shut up about it), I’m a teacher at a charter school in Chicago’s west side. A great deal of our students have never left their neighborhood, much less the greater Chicago area. But every year, some of the more spectacular teachers here put together and run a program called Operation: Snowball, in which we take a group of our...

wtjeff asked: But how do I know when it's the right time?
bschmidt asked: Uh, why are your kids not out for Christmas break? Is this a school or a prison? This is some Communist bullshit.
velocipedestrienne asked: Are you going home for Christmas?
wtjeff asked: Jeff, how are you so awesome? I, like, can't even deal with how awesome you are. Can I also say that I want to put it in you?
Oh my Christ, Tumblr. I'm so bored.
I’m just sitting here, making sure these kids stay quiet and write their papers and IT’S SO MIND-NUMBINGLY BORING.
Wanna talk?

Edgar: Mr. Watkins, I didn't know you like fruit snacks!
Me: Yeah Edgar, I guess I do.
Edgar: Ahhhh, tight!
