Funny stories about school and children

[ppfuf]

I ran across a link today to the story of the Christmas Spiders, one of the funniest things ever published on the straight dope message board.
Swallow. Set down your drink. Consider whether or not you should wait until you get home to read this (I should have, I think I just gave my self an aneurism trying to not laugh out loud in my cubicle). Click anyway.

One of Josh's spelling words for this year (1st grade) is wrap. I wonder if his teacher reads straight dope!

I am very glad that I was able to read this in the privacy of my own home. That may be why no body parts were ruptured during this reading.

The story about the mis-spelled Christmas wrapping was hilarious!

For a moment I thought you were referring to the so-called Legend of the Christmas Spider (WARNING: contains sentimentality, may cause gagging). While I don't think Snopes has tackled this one, it smells like an urban legend, along the lines of the "Legend of the Candy Cane."

Thanks for that! I have now spent the last several days reading every article that Wang-Ka has written that I can find! lol
