They Found Me Out...

It was inevitable, but the students have finally found the blog.

Jessie: "Ms. Sefcik, I'm reading your blog."

Me: "Oh boy."

Jessie: "I wasn't going to look it up because it was too much work, but Bobby had already pulled it up on my iPad, so now I'm reading it."

Me: "I'm so happy for you."

Jessie: (2 minutes later): "Wow, Ms. Sefcik, you write down everything."

(enter Layne)

Layne: "What are you doing?"

Jessie: "Reading Ms. Sefcik's blog."

Layne: "I should be on this literary map, Ms. Sefcik, because I'm in your blog so much. You should put a town in this section called 'Layne.'"

Me: "What would I do without you?"


(later)

Jones: "OMG--Ms. Sefcik cussed on her blog!"

Me: "What? Surely not."

Cade: "YES SHE DID. OMG LOOK AT THIS--she said 'SHIT.'"

Jones: "I'm pretty sure you could get fired for saying that."

Me: "Umm, I'm pretty sure I can't."

Jones: "I don't know, Ms. Sefcik, that's a naughty word."

Me: "It's my blog. It has nothing to do with school. Well, except that it's about school. But that's it!"


Katie: "What's my name in the blog?"

Me: "Well, I usually switch up your names so that no one's identifiable. Except Layne. She's always the same."

Layne: "HA! It's because I'm so awesome, right?"

Me: "Uh, yeah. That's the reason."

Katie: "Well, what's one of my names?"

Me: "Let's see--here, you're 'Holly.'"

Katie: "I don't like that name. Can you give me a different name?"

Me: "Uh..."

Nate: "Yeah, Ms. Sefcik, can I be 'Blade'?"

Huck: "Oooh, I want to be 'Spider.'"

Me: "Okay, now this is just---"

Chris: "The TERMINATOR!"

Me: "--ridiculous. I am not spending my whole day writing you all new names in my blog."
