ET Phone Home

Vacation and Halloween pictures are coming... But that would involve plugging my camera into the computer which is entirely too much work at the moment (I have about 900 papers to grade after taking the week off last week).

In the meantime... One of my favorite "ice breaker" questions is to ask my students what their biggest fear is. I get a lot of snakes, spiders, etc and kids are always tickled when I tell them about my completely irrational fear of E.T. I saw the movie when I was little and have been terrified ever since.... So much so that my dad had to sit at the top of the stairs at night while I fell asleep and to this day I get the heebie jeebies whenever someone shows a clip from the "sweet family movie". One of my students in particular thinks thaty phobia is hilarious and LOVES to tease me about it. She writes little notes on her homework papers about E.T.,brought me an E.T. keychain from Universal Studios and posted the following picture on Facebook this past weekend...


It's weird and creepy and hilarious all at the same time. ;) and way too funny not to share. Hahahaha
