Ear marker gets them on your "Good Side"

Guess you learned her one! Good on ya!! How bout carrying a few of those temporary tattoos and a wet sponge in a ziplock bag in your purse? A Big Black marker is really quicker, though!

Sandy,  I'm glad that you put the mark on her... and not on yourself...bet she won't forget again  .

 At school I have a name badge.  I tell the kids to always come talk to me on the side the badge is and I'll be able to hear them..... works pretty well.  But sometimes I get frustrated when they won't speak up so I can hear them (and believe me .... I've heard them loud so I know they can).  I finally got to the point yesterday I got tired of telling the kids... 'I didn't hear you ....say it again please'       so I said instead :  "you can speak up so I can hear you.... or go sit down".  Guess what - they speak up louder now
