my day is friday. so far my day has been just splendid. woke up, without the help of an alarm, listened to great music, hopped on the bus, ran into maryanne. got off the bus, walked to my mom's, put laundry on, went to work. i got to work, and the first thing i did was walk into a grade six classoom. what were they doing? karaoke. since i was the guest, i got to choose a song and go first -- naturally i chose 'you really got me' -it was the van halen version.. too bad! this was absolutely hilarious. i even got to 'karaoke' the guitar solo! the kids were picking songs like 'complicated', 'girls just wanna have fun' and 'addicted' (simple plan? .. oh who am i kidding, i know it's simple plan. but why do i know that??) anyway, no one chose 'bizarre love triangle'. that would have been a good choice.
so after the karaoke good times, i worked with 4 grade 5 girls on multiplication facts. i had to play this ridiculous tape with a 'multiplication rap' on it. seriously -- funniest lyrics ever. i'm trying to find them on the information super-highway right now..
okay, these aren't the exact lyrics, but for joke's sake, i'll share what children are exposed to these days -
Some kids pretend they're really cool
And you know that they're just fooling
'Cause there's nothing quite like schooling
To get you to the top.
These little tunes will get you there
To where you want to be.
There's nothing quite like rapping rhymes
To memorize those things called "Times
Tables" Times Table....
who needs fitty and the game? i predict that the church is next to jump into the rap game. they've been losing children (and molesting them) for a while now.
speaking of molesting, (good seque, no?) did anybody catch michael jackson showing up to court in pyjamas yesterday?? he was definitely thinking outside the box on that one.
ok well, i guess talking about MJ signals that i should wrap this rap entry up. see yous guys soon.
