(I think that I stole it from Karen or Lori)<BR/><BR/>I told the kids that the school budget was really in the tank, and that we were going to have to ration toilet paper. (I had taken all of the rolls and hidden them) I told them that I had the only roll that we would have until Christmas. I asked them to take as many sheets as they needed, remembering that their neighbors would need some too. <BR/><BR/>Some took one square, some took many. Then, like the M&Ms, I had them tell a fact for each square. The funny thing was, even after I told them it was a gag, the kids' families brought in tons of TP. This was 7 years ago, and I still have about 36 rolls left.<BR/><BR/>If you do it, really sell it hard, and you'll get TP for life:-} <BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>T-CubedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888393830372503469.post-48418211807143033192008-08-12T18:58:00.000-04:002008-08-12T18:58:00.000-04:00Dayle,I am so terrible at making up these ice-brea...Dayle,<BR/><BR/>I am so terrible at making up these ice-breakers. I really appreciate the ideas. (I can find thousands of people that like math less than me!)<BR/><BR/>I read the H. Wong statement that leads your prior blog, scary thought that! I better make it a good day! I smell Krispy-Kremes, with hats!
