TheTootsie Roll Mystery

The mystery of the tootsie rolls at the gym is solved! Last night I bravely went to the gym only to once again be horrified by all the mirrors and college students. After biking my way to nowhere, watching Inside Edition, learning about Charlie Sheen and his less than stellar past, lifting weights at the 20lbs. mark and cringing inside while doing it,I got the nerve as I walked out to ask,"Why in the heck do you have huge jars, four to be exact, of tootsie rolls in the gym?" The very serious and simple answer I got is that Corporate Planet Fitness requires that they be in every gym for diabetics and fat people. (I added the fat people part.) Fortunately I have never indulged in the tootsie rolls so I can't be added into that equation, that is unless I glance in the mirror again.
And that is the solution to the tootsie roll mystery!

Moment of the Day: Why is it after you've just completed a fascinating lesson on Martin Luther King Jr.,by cracking two different colored eggs to prove that we're all the same inside, they still always focus on how he died? My husband called it the Race of Eggs lesson. I guess the connection was a little loose. But boy did they listen when I dropped a book on an egg when we were studying the brain to show what happens if you don't wear a helmet! I told my para that we'll just teach through eggs all year.
