umm..cutest cabbage in the world? i think: YES.

i don't usually admire or fawn over fruits and vegetables. but c'mon, is this not just the cutest little cabbage you've ever laid eyes on? i showed it to the boys and bruno rolled his eyes and said (unimpressed), "sure. almost as cute as those rats with the mini teddy bears." chaco merely lifted an eyebrow and said, "no comment....but it's really not all that." i used that as a teachable moment to explain to him that once he said no comment, he forfeited his right to continue commenting.

i had to hide it in my office so no one would thieve it...you know what they say about teachers: beg, borrow and steal.

so, is it wrong that i kinda want to cryogenically freeze it? i mean, this little guy is so small, he could almost be adopted by a couple of brussel sprouts and fit right in...i wonder if i could draw up adoption papers on legal zoom just for kicks...(why do we say just for kicks? kicking isn't funny...i suppose it could be funny depending on the person doing the kicking, and the type of kick...karate, rockette-style, field goal...i can think of some people that might look funny doing any one of those).

yeah, so when i was making that salad last night, i couldn't cut this one open! the salad was a hit, so if you're interested, here's the link.

and i don't know why i just looked this up, but i was curious to see if there were any songs out there about cabbage...well, as a matter of fact, there is. but you may choose not to watch it unless it's really late and you are delirious...or you've had a glass of wine...you may not be as amused as i was-i may or may not have watched the entire minute and a half (a minute and a half of my life i will never get back)..

tomorrow a vast majority of our students and teachers will be going to the symphony. i LOVE the symphony (but let's just be honest, i love it more without being responsible for students!) so in honor of the symphony, i will be playing classical music whenever possible tomorrow!! (and when it's not playing, i will be thinking it).

keep practicing those kicks-
