America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.
Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)
I looked it up.
That’s very reasonable. It doesn’t take into account the spouses of Ms. Hannigan or Mr. Selleck, but if the opportunity ever arises, you can always ask.
We’re to have 70s today. I’m glad the aide was nice.
I would certainly obtain the consent of the spouse and the kissee. In my case, I assumed that would be understood. I’m not a heathen.
Yes, it was understood. I was just observing that, although you and your spouse have made an agreement, you hadn’t YET obtained approval from the other parties.
When did the UT become the place to discuss serious bucket-list items? ;)
When I first met Lazamataz, he gave me a nice, big hug and a kiss right in front
of Bryan, who took it very well, even though Laz thought he might be upset.
Bryan is a bridge over troubled waters.
Laz is a big, gorgeous hunk as well.
Oh, 2007 or so, I think.
It’s out for delivery...
Yeah, that pesky restraining order puts a crimp in his bucket list plan...
I’d willingly admit to the restraining order if that made me 43 again, even if I had to live in New Hampshire.

I’d hold out for 35...
Well there are two factors at work here: 1) You were careful not to mention that I slipped you the tongue, and 2) I thought Brian was upset because of the two running chainsaws he had in place of his hands.
So Scoutmaster, now that we've worked out the candy bar thing, when do I get to meet your wife and give her a little kiss?
YES!!!!
Oh, stop it. You know it wasn’t chainsaws. It was two semi-auto Kimber .45s.
Bryan wouldn’t take his chainsaws into a restaurant... at... dinner time.
And yeah. Sorry about the tongue, I hope the tip grew back eventually. ;-)
Don't you worry about me, because next time, you get THIS treatment. :)
This week would be the time. She’s on spring break.
