Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

ATWITTER

Pronunciation: a-'twi-ter
Function: adjective

1: nervously concerned : EXCITED (gossips atwitter with speculation)

I'm all atwittered about the native plants we bought at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. We've put in three, but, yesterday when Cyber got home, it was too danged hot to put more in. They are already blooming!

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Yes, we’re all here. No lumpen today.

RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.

If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

Good morning, everyone!

ATWITTER

I am all ATWITTER with Spring
flowers bursting forth from
frosty ground stretching their
neck to a warming sun

ATWITTER are the birds on the wing
as a male Cardinal feeds his bird
in mating ritual to a nest full of fledglings.

Ah ATWITTER with Spring.

Good morning!!!!

My child was all atwitter all weekend, she had a bowling outing on Saturday and went to see a Harlem Globetrotters' performance on Sunday - she's still running her little mouth about that!!!!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The candidate, Hillary's atwitter
Like the last time Bill drove home the sitter
Had that look in his eye
And an unfastened fly
It's no wonder she's nasty and bitter

Dog lovers will be all atwitter on this dog cruelty thread......poured bleach on the dog giving him permanent eye injuries....beat him till his skull was showing through. Sicko perp....but they picked him up in Tioga county on drug charges after Ithaca released him. How did he get into Cornell to begin with?????

Mornin'. Sounds like Jax isn't letting the winter blues get her down. I remember my daddy taking me to see the globetrotters when I was about her age. I STILL remember it vividly! Meadowlark Lemon........back in the day!

Springtime is when the animals get atwitter-pated.
