as the school year wrapped up and my birthday was approaching, i was lucky (?) to receive some very interesting gifts from my students. i got a very elaborate flower arrangement, a small cow statue that is glow in the dark, a cat statue with red eyes, D & G perfume, a lovely scarf, some chocolate, a music box, and more.
however, the most noteworthy gift came from a young girl in my class who gave me the gift and proceeded to say, "don't show anyone. it's ugly". great! lucky me!
i opened the box (privately, of course) and found the best or worst gift of the year. are you ready?? inside the box was a wooden rooster. or wooden cock, some might say. just a statue. it doesn't move. or do anything. just sits. and is made of wood. a wooden cock.
best? or worst??
