Here is the pic to go along with that story of the candy and the dentist…
OK OK…since I am going through withdrawals, this was too much for me…
I got this TTT idea from Waters…
TRUE TALE THURSDAY…
And this is a true story…name is being withheld because he is a minor…
BUT THIS IS A TRUTH…NOT A TALE…
One of my students came up to me during class with the biggest smile and said,
“Miss Holk, I got 48 pounds of candy on Halloween…”
“wow, that’s a lot of candy. WAIT what??? 48 pounds?”
“yes, I had to break last year record of 25 pounds.”
“you must have been running from house to house.”
“Yes we did. My brother and I. People were watching the Dodger game, so they just said here grab a handful. We got 25 large candy bars”.
Wow, that’s impressive. You’re not going to eat all the candy right?
“no”
“What do you do with the candy?”
“we sell it to our dentist”
“your what?”
“Yea to our dentist. He buys it for $2.00 a pound. We went from 5:30-9:30”
I am thinking…REALLY a dentist…what? They gonna put it in the treasure chest of prizes for the little patients? Guarantee they will be back soon right…
So I ask, “the dentist huh? And what do they do with it?”
“Well he ships it overseas to the Military who are on active duty. And he gives some to the veterans group he belongs to”.
I about fell over…what a wonderful thing to do…first to the dentist but second to a 14 year old boy who was more proud of this than most kids are of making a varsity sport…maybe there is hope in the future…
AMAZING HUH…
OK have a good evening.
Thank you ASB for lunch…it was DELICIOUS!!!
