I found a note on my classroom floor the other day that I thought was an iconic middle school artifact. It made me laugh and feel sorry for someone at the same time.
And I think I may have discovered another threat on my life.
Why would the note writer say “after religion at lunch”? There would be no need to say both. Lunch was after Religion. And why the exclamation point? I have a feeling that this is a plot to harm me. I don’t yet know the significance of the last symbols. Are they letters? At first I thought it said TTYL, but looking more closely, it doesn’t. TLY? JLY? It gives me even greater suspicion.
I will keep my eyes open.
More importantly, what are you investing $9,600.00 in? And why not make it an even $10,000.00?
Ha Lloyd – you’re funny!
Meanwhile, I already find myself doing handwriting analysis on the notes! The 2nd note is the same handwriting as one of those mean-girl notes found earlier in the year … hmmm, more evidence!
The ripped heart is so sad! That’s the kind of gesture that will leave a mark.
Just Limbo Yearly. – It’s health advice.
too funny! I remember in 2nd grade I asked Kurt if he liked me, he said no. So I wrote him a note that said I hated him; and Mrs. Baer yelled at me for saying that I hated someone…left a deep, deep scar.
Ha! My 1st love was Peter Howard in 1st grade…we didn’t pass notes, but we would always clunk our heads together as we swayed to the songs we were singing.
No… no more sad stories.
I took my note-writing skills into my marriage. When we were dating, I was in school, and I used to write him honest-to-God notes, folded with the little “pull” arrows. He loved it. When he left the country in August, my daughter and I made about 50 hearts in various sizes and wrote short (& a couple of longer) notes on them. I hid them in his clothing as I was packing. He saved some of them and put them under the glass of his dressing table. (They have glass on top of many of their pieces of furniture.)
Our first year teaching Lauren used to have 2nd graders bring “very important” notes to Mr. Sommerer.
When I was
stalkingworking on getting Harold to notice me back in college, I used to leave notes on his car windshield all the time. 😀And, then, once
I capturedwe were dating, I did a 12 Days of Valentines, and the last day (12th Day) he was gone to District Wrestling, so I got in touch with the wrestlers and had the captains give a note I had written to Harold to each of the 12 wrestlers…they were slipping him my love notes all day long. He could have died. I still think it was awesome…and once in a while we still run into one of those wrestlers…and they always remember Coach P’s crazy girlfriend! Priceless. 😀Do you “lik” me or not? What kind of school is this anyway? lik? Eeww and Gross.
I think the initials are “JLY” which obviously stands for “just look younger” – as in “when we talk at lunch I don’t want to be seen hanging with old and decrepit people, so…”
no?
how about “just like you” – as in “it’s just like you to make me talk to you face-to-face simply because I evidently still get ‘to’, ‘two’ and ‘too’ mixed up when I write!”
maybe not…
‘course, if it is a death note, more likely it’s “jump him, lynch him, yank his chain!” Ooooo…scarey…
[could it be “Josh loves Yalda”? We really do have sixth graders with those names this year….but, then, you don’t have them in your classes, so that’s unlikely. Hmmmmm.]
Detective Royuk, if you discern the actual meaning of this cryptic message, I know you’ll clue us all in. Thanking you in advance, I remain…
–DMLoaFN, JLaOOPM*
(doin’ my laundry on a Friday night, just like any other old person might)
I try not to lik anybody.
WHA? It’s 8:30 in Baltimore and no post? Are you ill? 😉
Dang. I just missed you. I was sleeping in as late as I could this morning. It was 8:15am when I got up.
9:15 baby! Of course that doesn’t count the two times I got up to use the potty.
