You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned, or drunk, at 3 A.M.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know the town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey--there's the shore--and you don't go "to the shore," you go "down the shore." And when you are there, you're not "at the shore"; you are "down the shore."
You know how to properly negotiate a circle.
You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving.
You know that this is the only "New" state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (try . . . Mexico .. . . York .. Hampshire-- doesn't work, does it?).

Afternoon all! My day has gone from boring old run of the mill dress rehearsal and concert to late-breaking news. Myself, principal, asst. principal and dean of students were all just threatened (quite loudly, and rather physically) by a student's parent. The police were there SO fast and our school officer really stepped in and got threatened as well. Good ol' mommy dearest was arrested and I was told to go home and strongly urged to take the day off tomorrow. Well, I have a concert this afternoon so the police are going to be keeping an eye out to make sure the parent doesn't appear at my other school. 
Gotta love the parents I deal with huh? I do love my staff and give serious props to our local police office and school officer. They escorted me from teh building to my car and followed me to my other school to make sure I was safe 
Now, I get to tell the hubby and see how much he freaks out

Yikes! Tell her good luck! Our matter has a Superintendent's hearing sometime next week. Filled out the police report on the mom so we'll see what comes of that. It's weird though, because I am calm about it and know that I should probably be freaked out, but I am not and no one else at school really was either.stosh said:
