I Grew A Pair


Today I held this on my forearm so I wouldn't look like a fool in front of my students.

I also touched a snake python (I drew the line at letting it hang out around my thorax).

The things I do.

EDIT: I am going away this weekend, so Fashion Friday will have to wait for next week. Have a good weekend kids. I know I will.

I think I just barfed a little in my mouth.

This beats the pants of the mealworms we grew in grade 5.

What? No frog dissections? My favorite activity is to bring fresh pig guts in from the processing plant for the kids to poke through. The best part is the bloody foam you can squeeze out of the lungs!

OMG.
There are very few things I can't handle. Snakes and spiders could crawl all over me and I wouldn't care. But centipedes and millipedes scare the crap out of me. Seriously... just that picture makes me squirm.
In the summer, I often get centipedes in my apartment, which, thank goodness, my cat eats before they can get too close.

EWWW!!!... No way you touched THAT?!!!

Wow. I so would've let the snake hang around my thorax before holding the creepy-crawlers, but I admire your TQ. :)

Dan said...

Nice pair - but you can keep them!

Dexter Colt said...

I see them all the time on hikes- they're all over the trails. But, I never pick them up. Harmless, but a little on the nasty side.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I love Fashion Friday. Did you know that Blogger has a scheduling feature? Write it today, post it tomorrow?

...just saying ;)

Ick. It's moments like that which prove why teachers need to make significantly more money.

Matt said...

I know there's a penis joke about this post somewhere...

I'm just too tired and uncreative to post it.

SM said...

I feel all gross after seeing that picture. Snakes I can handle. Things with crawly legs? I can not. You are a braver woman that I could ever be and I salute you.

Have a good weekend! Hope you're off doing something super fun!

Medio Pomelo said...

Don't you keep checking your sleeves if you have one of those things stuck in there? I know I would!
Sounds like you are having a fun weekend! I'm wondering what you are up to?

Clau said...

Ugh. I can hardly look at the picture. All those squirmy legs... Bleh!

I'll take a snake anyday!

Ben said...

I would eat a live snack before touching one of those.

Deutlich said...

I'd totally let the snake hang around my throat before I touched one of those creepy crawly things!

omg!

AAHHH!

That's truly gnarly. They don't pay you enough, Em.

I don't know what the hell those are but I suddenly want some if only to see the reaction upon leaving them all over the office!

MarvelousMOM said...

The picture alone grossed me out. YUCK. You are brave.

egan said...

Bear Grylls eats those for a snack. Enjoy your retreat!

You are a rockstar for being able to do that.
I would have completely wussed out.
