Ms. Hicks Earns An Apple

Today, I proudly became a peacocking cliche...for about two hours. A tiny girl, who I've never spoken to, rebelled against the wishes of the line leaders and went rogue from her class's line. She stepped in front of me said "hi, Ms. Hicks, this is for you!" This sweetheart had decided to risk "keeping the doctor away" by gifting me her apple from lunch.  This gesture really made me feel like a winner.  So, I victoriously mounted that apple on my desk like it was the Standly Cup.  Once my kids had left for the day I took a moment to admire what appeared to be a symbol of my popularity. Upon closer examination I found a rather large rotten spot on the apple. With the recent iPhone 5 buzz, I'm pretty confident this little lady caught a glimpse of my iPhone 4 and was shaming me...she's clearly an Android girl...
