Mr. Bungle and My Classroom

Today was the last day of school before the Christmas holidays.

Finally, a chance to have 2 weeks of peace and quiet. No kids, except the occasional grandchild.

So, what do I do?

I go straight home and watch films about school. And not just any film, but a film about manners. Manners in the lunch room no less!

Give it a go. It's really kinda good, in a.... strange sort of way.

Oh, by the way. I disabled the autoplay on the video. This way it won't play until you are ready for it to. So be sure to press the play button.


Contrary to popular belief the students in my classroom were not used in the filming of this mini-epic. It was filmed approximately 50 years ago. I know this because of the generic school house type of asphalt tile used for the flooring. It looks like the tile that was used then. I know this because I was 3 years old at the time and was very well acquainted with the floor. I spent a lot of time there. The copyright notice gave a little clue also.The copyright notice gave a little clue also.

Anyway, it seems that Miss Brown's class could certainly be confused for my class. I mean, did you see how well behaved those children were? Just like my class of kindergartners, in my dreams.

Then when Phil went to the Boy's Room I knew that it had to be my class because of the massive amount of soap that he used while performing this important task of pre-lunch hygiene. However, I realized it could not have been my class when Phil used only one paper towel.

You see, my class thinks that paper towels grow on trees.

Oh, wait! They do, sort of.

Anyway, my class thinks that it is a good idea to recycle used paper, so they try to use massive amounts in order to show others that they are recycling.

Then, on his way out of the Boy's Room, Phil had to stop and comb his hair. It looked like he was combing the fuzz on a peach.

Later in the cafeteria good ol' Phil must have been one thirsty camper. Did you notice how his milk carton kept changing from Meadow Gold to Pet Milk? At least three times.

And while we're in the cafeteria, did you catch that hunk of cake? I've never seen a piece of cake that big at any school I've been in. Obviously I've been in the wrong schools for cake.

Obviously!
