The Wasp

Remember how I wanted the good kind of staple remover??? THANKS, NANCER!

So freaking irked and I'll tell you why.  The wasps are back.  Remember in fall how we had wasps and I actually got stung by one of them?  Well, they are back in true form.  For the past 3 days I've had a wasp flying around my classroom, wrecking every single lesson I've planned.  We did kill one, but yesterday and today we had another wasp just going to town in our room. All day I nagged the Thirdlanders to stop paying attention to the wasp.  I was really irked at them and even threatened recess denial for their total lack of concern for my fascinating lessons.  Finally I knew things were getting out of hand and I said, "Am I being unfair?  Give me feedback here.  Is it too much to expect you to ignore the wasp?" Basically they told me I was in fact being unfair because the wasp was frightening and they were scared it was going to sting them.  I was somewhat moved but honestly still irked. So then there was dismissal time and I had car duty.  Then I returned to the room where the wasp was flying around just like he owned the place.  I ignored him, but come to find out, he landed on my neck.  I tried to swish him away and he flew into my shirt and stung the holy heck out of my shoulder.  I screamed like nobody's business. 

So this is it.  I'm joining the Thirdlanders with the rejection of ANYTHING remotely LIKE education when wasps are in the room.  We will kill all wasps and we will take our time doing it.  We will spend all day talking about killing wasps and then actually killing them if that's what needs to happen to get to the bottom of this situation.  I'm mad as all get out.  Wasps, you brought this on yourselves.
