Why teachers drink

A good friend of my Mom's sent this e-mail the other day that had the mood in our office lightening considerably.  Most often she ignores forwarded e-mails but this one she just happened to open, and I'm glad.

Now, I'm going to apologize because the full grandeur of this email is going to be lost in the fact that the email contains this information in the form of scanned copies of the kids' answers.  I however, am technologically challenged and can't get them to copy and paste here.  Since the hilarity of these is still relevant I'm going to be self sacrificing and spend the whole 15 minutes to transcribe them here, for you, so that you too can laugh until you let a squeaker out that is actually a stink bomb cry.

 You're welcome.

So, without further adieu, here is why teacher's drink
