Does the Hot Dog know?

Substitute Orientation, or shall I say Wandering Educator Introduction and Initiation, was this morning for Austin ISD. Thank goodness I had to only stay for the first session or else I would have gouged my eyes out! Not to sound cocky but everything they went over I knew. UT was great at preparing me for the teaching profession. There was one incident that I did get a kick out of. We were discussing sexual harassment and the presenter was giving us examples that we had to say whether or not it was sexual harassment. Here is the situation, I want you to tell me if it is sexual harassment or not:
"Two fifth grade boys were calling a fifth grade girl a "gay hot dog slut" and saying that she had sex with "gay hot dogs".
I had a hard time with this one. First of all what is a gay hot dog? And what makes a hot dog gay? Is the hot dog gay by choice or is it gay due to genetics? Is this just a stage in the hot dog's life? Does the hot dog know he's gay or is it just a viscous rumor?

I got home from the orientation with nothing to do with myself for the rest of the day. Since it was so pretty outside I took my blanket and a book outside and decided to read. It wasn't long before I jerked myself awake. I had fallen asleep outside for 2 hours! It was rather relaxing. Lucky I was under a tree so no sun burns here.

After the power nap I looked at my car in disgust. It was rather dirty and I was ashamed to call it my friend. I had to act fast for the sun was slowly setting. I got the water hose, a bucket, and a sponge and set to work. Now my car shines with the brilliance of a million stars. There mere sight of it has made mortals cry. I kid you not!

I was flipping through the tube and realized that the season premier of The Hills was tonight! I suddenly felt my heart leap and got super excited. I ordered in Chinese food and awaited the premier. My Sesame Chicken arrived with 2 minutes to spare. I grabbed the chopsticks and set to town. The Hills started and next thing I know my chopsticks are hitting solid container. Ok so I didn't eat it that fast but I did have to tell myself to calm down. I was just so excited! Do you blame me?
