She said they were down there protesting being poor and that they hate the government and taking showers or something like that. She told me about their hand signals and we watched a youtube video. We thought the twinkle fingers were really funny. Anyway, my new teacher this year is always talking about how awesome she thinks Obama is and how she supports the people living in tents and not brushing their teeth so I told her about my mom going down there. She seemed impressed that I knew about it but she doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s too funny that now I use down twinkles when she says something I don\u2019t like. At lunch today I showed my friend Jake and Josh down twinkles and when she gave us homework over Thanksgiving we all gave her down twinkles in class. Now my mom has to go meet with the principal next week. My teacher has no sense of humor. My mom said she wasn\u2019t mad and that she just might down twinkle the principal. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To read more Tomfoolery <a href=\"http:\/\/sonofacrescat.blogspot.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">follow the link to his blog<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Related link<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aliveandyoung.net\/2011\/11\/un-official-ows-hand-signals.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Paul Cat\u2019s Guide to Un-Official OWS Hand Signals<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 My son had quite an eventful day today.
