In the Middle of the Night...

I remember that line from a song. If anyone remembers the name of the song, who sang it, etc. please let me know. My memory isn't as good as it used to be!

When I was still teaching, and I would forget some small thing... my students would look at me with astonishment. A teacher forgets things??? I would tell them that I was old, my brain was full, and sometimes things just fell out!

Because of that explanation, I had one young boy who would hold his hands over his ears as he read. I asked him if it was too noisy in the classroom for him to concentrate. "No, it's just such a good story, I don't want any of it to fall out of my head."

Moral? Be careful what you tell young children!


That's it for this old gal. I can't sleep. Yes, pain is my companion tonight....
