Every once in a while we all need a good chuckle. Well, here is your “have a laugh” post. Several weeks ago I had to have ANOTHER upper tooth pulled, but this time it was right smack dab in the front of my mouth. I could not even imagine going to school with a huge hole staring at all of the kids who are sent to me for in-school suspension, so I came up with a plan. Go to Wally World and buy some hospital face masks and cover one with fabric. That is exactly what I did, and here are some silly photos of my creation. I had to have the librarian take the photos so I need to give her credit. It worked really well, and the kids got a great big laugh out of it. They called it Ms. R’s "Michael Jackson” mask!
FYI....This is how a teacher feels after day after day of SOL testing!This is the sofa is in the library reading nook and not in my room.
I think I need to give my friend, Joanna, the school librarian, some photographic credit for taking my pictures, so here is my shot of her taking the end-of-the-year inventory.
Oh, to be so young and cute as this. If I climbed up the foot stool, I would probably fall flat on my face!
A HAPPY AND LAUGHING PINK SATURDAY TO ALL OF YOU FROM GENIE...THE TOOTHLESS WONDER!

Genie, What a delightful blog post...bless your heart! I know the kids did get a chuckle. Your librarian friend did a great job and yes, I am envious she can climb!!!
Happy Pink Saturday.
hi, my mom said the Hundertwasserhaus we visited is the Kunst Haus Wien. It's a museum with a shop and cafe...also designed by Hudertwasser. :) -Benedique
I am sure the kids got a bigger kick out of your mask look than if you had not worn it. You sound like a fun lady to be around.
Oh genie, that is just too cute!
Sparkly Hugs and a Happy Pink Saturday,
Tobi and the Pixies!
PS- come visit- I am having a giveaway!!
That was sweet that you worried how the kids would react. For a mask that's pretty cute.
Hi Genie~
I know that you made those kids day!! What fun! I work at a school to and they make my day. Love the mask. Enjoy the summer.
Happy Pink Saturday!
I can't believe that you wore that all day. Did you tell them why. Is your tooth fixed. The school days are numbered. Yippee. Come sign up for my giveaway.
Oh I love your sense of humor! This is a perfect Happy Pink Saturday post, thanks for sharing.......

I love it! The best way to keep from being teased is to not take yourself too seriously! The mask is a great idea. I've recently had to wear a hand brace for an arthritic thumb. It is quite unattractive. It does have two large pieces of velcro holding it on. I have been thinking of sewing fabric to the back to make it look prettier...less medical!

And hey, it is pink! Great pink sat post.
Oh what a fun and creative solution. And what sweet family memories. I used to work for a school district and loved it. So many sweet and special people. :) Have a blessed week.
Now thats the spirit!!!! Such a fun pink saturday post.
Cute idea. I know the kids loved it! ~ Sarah
well ain't that cute...very stylish I might add.at least you can laugh about it...hope you will be able to get a new tooth in ...or well, I guess you may just have to look like Jackson. tee hee....Hugs to you genie, I love your sense of humor.Mica
Oh Genie, you are making me laugh.
Pull the mask a bit tighter and you have a painless facelift at the same time:-)
I take my hat off to your energy and vivacity.
Having a couch in a schoolroom seems a wonderful idea.
Hilarious! You made the best out of bad situation. Good for you and the students too!
LOL, its refreshing that you are able to laugh at your own unfortunate circumstance.. your mask idea was ingenious!
I think you should be knick-named 'the mysterious school Genie' :)
Hugs,
Pam
That's a great pink idea! Hope the toofer gets replaced soon. Next week put on an eyemask and ear muffs along with it and see what those iss kids think! Partaaay. Plug an audio book in your ear - it's a win/win! xoxo Nancy
Happy Pink Saturday Genie Sweetie..
You look fabulous in your mask and how creative that was. I love it. I will have to remember that one. You never know when you may need a little coverage. Just so darn cute. I love the photo of you relaxing on the couch. That one stole the show. Please thank the librarian, because we were allowed to share the fun with you.
What a great share. I am still smiling my friend. Have a glorious weekend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Happy Pink Saturday!
I had tooth pulled also oh it so painful! Waiting to get my implant. Have a glorious weekend. Many hugs

Hi Genie, so NICE to meet you, love your solution..I used to be a library tech at a jr. high school, the library pictures made me a bit homesick for my job! Thank you so much for stopping by and your good wishes! Come visit again!
Happy rest of the weekend to ya!

Oh you poor baby but your sense of humour is fabulous and the kids too. Your M J mask...lol. That's great! I just had a tooth transplant finally finished. It wasn't hard but it took forever because of other issues. Hope you get everything all worked out lickity split. HPS (late)
Genie, thank you for your sweet comment and your delightful post. I did laugh at your very artful idea. I must remember that if I ever have to have a tooth pulled in the front of my smile. Love the pics.
Hugs, Jeanne
Funny mask :) What a cute idea. Great pics! You must be such fun in the classroom.
Oh,what a great idea...I just know the Kids loved it! Did they wonder what was under it? Pinkim
That's a cute mask! Here in Cambodia, wearing a mask like yours is pretty much a normal sight. It is a motorcycle country here and people wear mask to, errrm, protect them from smoke and other pollutants.
