The kids in Shelby's class were supposed to be making pinhole suncatchers with the thumbtacks & hearts. Instead, they turned it into a therapeutic session of 'stabbing the heart'. Later, this boy ended up poking himself so hard with the thumbtack that he nearly passed out from the shock of it.

James got sick in my bed when he slept with me last night and then all morning he has been really tired and not like himself. He asked to take a nap on the couch. He stayed there for a long time. He started to feel better at night.
