Tales, Part VII (Oh, the things I’d be thinkin’…)

Today one of my students left their backpack in my classroom. I unzipped it to see whose it was so I could return it. I opened the front pocket and found a little baggy with something white in it. The outside of the bag was sticky. I honestly thought it was a piece of cooked chicken breast. But then I realized that my kids are on the free lunch program. What was this white thing in a baggy?? Upon further inspection I realized what it was…

a brain!! EW!! What child keeps a brain in a baggy, in their book bag?!?! I was so utterly grossed out!!

I put it back in the book bag and walked the back pack up to the student’s classroom. I made him throw it away. Apparently he had gotten it from one of the Science teachers. It was a sheep’s brain. The science club had dissected them a month ago!!

UGH!! I touched brain juice—YUCK!!
