Oh, how I love link ups :)

It's Things Students Say Thursday with Erin over at Every Branch :) I'm going to share an event that could have gone horribly wrong. I was subbing yesterday in a 4th grade classroom and it was someone's birthday. She brought peanut butter bars (Rice Krispie treats made with peanut butter and a chocolate icing on top) to share. As she was handing them out, a different student informed me that if a student doesn't like the treat, he or she may pick a gumball from the teacher's stash. A couple of kids went to get gum while the rest chowed down on these amazing slices of heaven (obviously, I enjoyed the snack!). After taking a bite, a boy raised his hand and said "Can I have a gumball? I'm allergic to peanut butter." Internally I started to panic because I know that peanut allergies can be very serious. I asked him if he was going to be all right and he said "Yeah, I just hope I don't throw up". Oh goodness. Luckily, he was fine. I think his situation is more of a "I don't like peanut butter" rather than being allergic. Not sure. Anyway, I avoided the vomit this time.




I'm linking up a little late, but here we go. I'll start with one post of 25 facts. Head on over to Megan Writes and join!
[1] I hope to someday (someday as in next school year, please) teach 7th or 8th grade.


[2] During senior year of college I lived with 5 guys. I'm a no-drama kind of girl.

 roommates (minus one)
[3] I prefer white cake over chocolate. And chocolate ice cream over vanilla.


[4] Recently my tastes buds have changed. A year ago, if you would've asked me two of my least favorite foods, I would have said tacos and Chinese food. Now, I crave tacos and orange chicken. 


[5] I totaled my first car (don't worry, it was used) the day after I got my license. Oops!


[6] Since that day, I've never had a traffic violation.


[7] Weather 50° and above= flip flops...All.the.time. Usually ones from Old Navy.

[10] THE BEST smoothie in the world is from Planet Smoothie and it's called Captain Kid.



[11] I'm rather tall for a female-- 5'10"


[12] I'm obsessed with Broadway Natural Deceptions fake nails.
