Celebrities' Children

Guess who was in two of my classes yesterday during parent orientation!

Guess!

Guess...

No, silly. It was Lionel Richie! I teach his son twice every day. He's a pretty good kid, for a seventh grader.

You knew it was coming....

Lionel Richie is from......ALABAMA!!!

(OK...I'll shut up now. )

I miss you , yoga woman. Hot yoga isn't the same on my back porch holding the book while I try to contort myself.

Hey, you're not the only one with celebrity kids! I have a seventh grader who had a featured role in Madea's Family Reunion! Seriously, the kid has 3 movie roles to his credit and is out of control. He's only been here about half time since 4th grade and is becoming a real jerk, not to mention the fact his academics are badly lagging. I know that's probably just a glimpse of what you and the New Yorkers and others deal with when it comes to diva kids....

Still Flower,

I only wish the best for you, and I want to help you avoid any sort of celebrity mishap; therefore, I have a serious warning for you:

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO ALLOW THAT CHILD TO BE DANCIN' ON THE CEILING!

You know he's gonna try it...

I miss you.

Yeah, well one of my kids was quoted as a witness to ritual animal abuse in the Daily Oklahoman.

But I'm not here to brag.

It's probably good that I am here in middle America and don't have celebrity kids. I'd be stifling jokes like, "Hey! No Dancing On The Celing!", or "I was up grading papers All Night Long (All Night)" (Just Google it, Kim, I don't have time). Then there's all those Simple Life jokes...

Michael, I was typing my own Dancing On The Celing joke as you were.

Spooky.

Attendance tomorrow:

"Hello? Is it me you're looking for?"

"Wow, Ms. Coalson! I have an A!"

Emily's answer?

Truly.

THE TOP TEN EXCUSES LIONEL RICHIE'S KID USES FOR NOT HAVING HIS HOMEWORK:

10. It's really hard to do homework on the yacht while dad's yelling, Sail on!

9. Hello? I'm Lionel Richie's kid.

8. I stayed up way too late running with the night, Miss Coalson.

7. These word problems were all using nickels, dimes, and quarters, and I'm a penny lover.

6. I'm not really to blame for my lack of initiative and inspiration. You are.

5. I like homework, but video games are my endless love.

4. My dog ate my homework. Truly.

3. I DID turn in my homework. You just can't see it -- I taped it to your back. It's stuck on you.

2. It's a confusing math problem, Miss Coalson -- when I multiply it twice, the answer's a guy; three times, a lady.

1. This homework is too hard... it's not easy, easy like a Sunday morning.

With apologies to David Letterman...

Once again, Michael comes up with an entire list of great punchlines before I can top him. My hat is off to you, sir.
