I hope my students won't be getting any ideas...

I read this story from the The Bondage File/ Weird News on the San Francisco Chronicle's website. (According to the chair of my department, it's also useful for the weekend quiz on NPR, for those of you who play along.) At any rate, a few middle-school girls gave their teacher cookies laced with Ex-Lax. The mother of one of the girls helped them to bake them, showing them how to crush the medicine, etc. How fucked up is that?! Obviously, the kids wouldn't have come up with the idea themselves. The most likely scenario is that the kids were talking about what a bitch their teacher was and the mother jumped in with the Hershey-squirt cookies. I'm just always so blown away by parents who are so morally bankrupt that they teach their kids to be assholes... but I guess I shouldn't be.

In Cute News, John Legend was on this season's final Real Time. I had no idea he was so very yummy!
