Last week, my professor said that we could bring in any non-electronic reference materials that we could carry on our backs to use during the test. Most kids brought their notes, textbooks and printouts of online articles. My friend walked into the class giving the professor's TA, who wrote the test, a piggyback ride. MLIA

Today, I was woken up to a loud "i have no clothes" from my sisters room, assuming she just meant she couldnt find any she liked my family went back to sleep. Turns out my brother has been slowly taking clothes from her bedroom to test how long it took her to notice, she literally had no clothes. MLIA

Today, I was bummed because I had to take a vocab quiz in english and I hadn't studied. All of a sudden, the fire alarm went off. We had to evacuate the building. Apparently my chemistry teacher set a gummy bear on fire. We never took the quiz. MLIA.

When i was four years old, I first heard that humans are warm-blooded. For the nexy two months, I drank a Dixie cup full of hot water from the sink each night to make sure that my blood would stay warm enough. MLIA.

Today during Biology class, the blonde pretty girl in my class asked my teacher if paleontologists were real or did they just make the word up for the show Friends. She then proceeded to ask if dinosaurs were actually real, because "Jurassic Park" didnt seem very realistic. I have never seem my teacher looked as horrified. MLIA

Today, the Honda Civic's odometer hit 075091...which is no real milestone, except that upside down it reads "I GO SLO". MLIA

Today i changed the date on my phone to say August 7, 1896. I also realized that when i text someone it says that it was recieved at that date. So many people are confused. MLIA.

Today, I was in a very bad mood so I made an 'angry' playlist on my Ipod. Somehow I must have slipped while adding some of the songs, so after about ten loud, angry songs I listened to the entirety of Heffalumps and Woozles. I'm no longer angry. Thanks, Pooh. MLIA

Today, I got a new boyfriend. When I told my best friend, all she said was, "Cool." Later, I texted her and mentioned that I was at Subway. I got a text two seconds later saying, "OMG SANDWICH!!!! SWEET!" I'm glad she's got her priorties in order. Sandwiches before boys. MLIA

Today, while rummaging through a box of my little sister's old things in the attic, I found a sheet of paper with different names on it. I realized it was names my parents and I had gone through when trying to pick one for her. At the bottom was everyone's top choices. My top choice? Nature. Our last name is Calls. I'm very disappointed my parent's didn't go with it. MLIA

Today, I realized all the dishes in my house were dirty, not wanting to do any dishes I searched for an alternative. I am eating cereal out of a bucket.

Today, my younger brother and I were watching a movie that made both of us cry. He is 17 and the most popular kid in his senior class, I'm a 22 year old nursing student. We were watching the original Land Before Time. Neither of us is ashamed. MLIA.

Today, I was on facebook when I saw a video my sister posted. It was of her son playing Super Smash Bros Melee, and totally owning her fiance, the king of all that is game. Needless to say, my 18-month old nephew WILL be going places. MLIA

Today I made up a way to trick people into believing they were in Narnia. All I had to do was move a big cupboard in front of my back door, put in some fur coats, and leave the door open. So when they walk in the cupboard, they end up outside. I am a genius. MLIA

A few weeks ago my mom told me that I could be a foreign exchange student, my brother, upon hearing this, excitedly exclaimed that I 'could go to Texas'. We live in the US and my brother is getting a C in Social Studies. Now I know why.

Today I found out that my husband and I went to the same high school and graduated in the same year. We've been married for six years. MLIA.

Today I was at the grocery store when I overheard a mother say to her young son "now sweetheart, why should we be quite in church?" His response? "Because people are sleeping?". She couldn't help but laugh a little. Neither could I. MLIA.

Last night, I woke up in the middle of an intense dream where I was fleeing for my life. I immediately wondered why the music had stopped. Apparently my dreams come with their own soundtrack. MLIA.

Today, while my friend and I were in the States doing some shopping, we ended up talking to one of the cashiers about us being Canadian. My friend, just to see his reaction said, "We're so Canadian, even our blood cells are red and white.". The cashier's response? He laughed at us and said "Yeah right". MLIA

Today at football practice, i was playing defense and a runningback came to block me. I tried to use my hands to deflect the block, but we ended up hitting each others hands with my free hand on his hip and his free hand on my shoulder. The play finished, but we realized we were in perfect ballroom dancing form and took a moment to dance. MLIA.

Today, my mom went to PNC to withdraw some cash. We went through the drive thru and whenever my mom spoke through the mic, I barked and growled really loud like a dog (because my friend told me I look like a huskie) while hiding from the camera. The woman speaking to my mom after the transaction asked, "Does your dog want a biscuit?" Before my mom could respond, she sent me a dog bone in the capsule. My mom opened it, laughed, and responded: "That's my daughter, actually...." MLIA

Today, while listening to Pandora radio on my laptop, a Taylor Swift song came on that I don't like. I skipped it. A Kanye West song came up. MLIA.

Yesterday, after reading the MLIA about Antidaephobia, I decided to try it on my friend. I went up to her and asked, "Do you suffer from antidaephobia?" "What?" "The fear that somewhere a duck is watching you." She told me it was ridiculous and no one can be afraid of ducks. Today, I went up to her with a rubber duck and whispered "quack" into her ear. She screamed and ran into a wall. I win. MLIA

It's my daughter's 2nd birthday on Wednesday; my mother patronizingly asked her "Do you know what day is it on Wednesday?" She looked at her and said Wednesday. I love my baby. MLIA.

Today I checked my email and saw I had emailed myself with a paper for school. I opened the email and saw I had typed, "You did it. Good for you." I smiled until I realized i hadn't attached the document. MLIA

Yesterday in class, we made our notes with construction paper with flaps. Our teacher told us to cut a certain side of the paper. The girl beside me cut the right side instead of the left. As she complained about it and went back to get another paper, I flipped it so the cut was on the correct side. When she came back, she claimed she was magical and went to put the paper back, which I then moved the paper again. This continued for the whole class paper. The whole class, including the teacher, played along for the whole class period. MLIA.

Today, I learned why my friend had to go to the hospital and get stitches above her eye. She was brushing her teeth. So. Many. Questions. MLIA.

The other day in U.S. History, we were watching a video about the American Revolution. We were at a part in the video where dogs were barking in the background when a girl asks, "They had dogs back then?" Wow. MLIA

Today, the girl next to me in spanish class was cheating off of my test. I found out because I was cheating off of hers. MLIA

Today, I got a call from a tele-marketer. I have a very unusual last name that is hard to pronounce but today I was excited about it. They asked me in an even tone if "Mr. Hannibal" was in. Without missing a beat I replied in a creepy voice: "He cannot come to the phone right now. He's having a friend for dinner". They promptly hung up. A sales call worth my time? I think so. MLIA.
