in Chit-Chat
A 7-year-old Anne Arundel County boy was suspended Friday for chewing his breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun and saying, “bang, bang”— an offense that the school described as a threat to other students, according to his family.
The pastry “gun” was a rectangular strawberry-filled bar, akin to a Pop-Tart, that the second-grader had tried to nibble into the shape of a mountain, but then found it looked more like a gun, said his father, William “B.J.” Welch. -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2013/03/05/pop-tart-gun-suspension-seriously-folks/

Of course, after this heinous incident, the school felt it was necessary to send a letter home to the parents of the traumatized students offering counselling to those who needed it. http://reason.com/blog/2013/03/05/school-offers-counseling-to-kids-trouble

Keep those Pop Tarts out of the hands of children!!! Only responsible adults can be trusted with a Pop Tart...let alone the second one in the package!!!

    Totally agree with the topic title...if by "evil", you actually mean, "awesome".

    I caught my 11- and 8-year-olds singing Bohemian Rhapsody this morning before school and gave them a stern lecture about the appropriateness of song lyrics.*



    (*Okay, that's a lie. I joined in and sang along with them.)

    No thread in the history of threads ever needed a WTF gif more than this one. Unfortunately I don't have one.

    Crap! I just bought 4 boxes last night. I guess I better take 'em back, since I live in MD.

    Well, we can't let this kind of reckless abandon go unchecked...before you know it, the court documents will include something like this:

    Looks more like the outline of Idaho, if you tilt your head to the right to view it.
