the week of jerks

this week has been an interesting one. i had to give a zero to a kid for talking during a quiz and he told me it was "bullshit". oh really? how about some in-school suspension you little cocky jerk? is that some "bullshit"?

then tonight, i was watching my brother and his friends (my parents are in italy for 14 days, damn them) and they decided to dress up silly and go walk around the grocery store. this is a HUGE step for my too-cool-for-school brother and his friends. silliness is always a plus. we went and giggled and took pictures and had fun...at least until a cop came out and threatened to arrest us all. i won't get into the details right now (mostly because i'm too pissed for words), but i will say that the cop managed to look only at the 3 young black men in the car. i will do my best to have that man tarred and feathered in the town square. antiquated, yes. but at least it matches his beliefs. bastard.
