nothing's changed

remember this post?

well, nothing's changed.

i haven't had an situation exactly like that in my class. but i think the class i have now may come pretty darn close. they are-how do i put this in a tactful way-a bit "gassier and proud of it" than other classes have been. and though i have gotten quite good at ignoring it (a real pro, i tell ya), sometimes a giggle slips out.

today was one such day. we were in the middle of science, and one student was reading to us about invertebrates when all of a sudden i hear a.....pop. i didn't look up right away because i knew exactly who it was. then i heard a weird noise, then another, and then another. i made the mistake of looking up, and the first person i see is the culprit. her hands are on her cheeks (the ones on her face), her mouth is open, and her eyes are round.

"i tooted."

i only giggled, but i wanted to do much more. after months of holding in laughs, her words sent me over the edge. the good news is that i only laughed for a little bit and it wasn't out loud. but the bad news is that it happened again. oh my word. that time i just put my head down as my shoulders shook silently.

somebody please save me.
