Absolutely Absurd Alliterations and HSM3 and CHRISTMAS MUSIC

So I was sitting at Fuddrucker's Sunday night eating dinner with a few of the coolest Middle Schoolers I know and we started talking about alliterations. Apparently my 6th graders are learning about them in school. On of them said that his teacher was dancing around to one she made up "Billy's booty bumps Betty." The kids laughed and then I challenged them to make up a longer sentence that began the same way. This is what they ended up with, "Billy's booty bumped Betty because Bobby's bicycle bumper bounced between Beck and Bo." Not bad...

The next challenge was an alliteration with the letter "P"

"Petunia's pencils poked Paul's pickled pretzels while Peter prestigiously piled pretty pink pigs."

That one doesn't quite make as much sense but I got a kick out of listening to them make it up.

I am enjoying my last few weeks in Belton. It has been such a joy to spend time with the teens. It will be hard not to see them on a regular basis.

I went and saw High School Musical 3 with three of the Middle School girls on Saturday. If you know me at all you know that when it comes to TV and Movies I have the same taste as a teenage girl. I love cheesy movies, sappy movies, and made for TV movies so when HSM3 came out I was totally pumped. I thought it was a great movie. Loved the music, the dancing and of course the love story. I recommend it to any of those who find your taste identifying with mine.

All I will say about Christmas music is that it is time to get in the holiday spirit and that means a little bit of decking the halls and jingling bells. :o)
