The craziest thing happened today in my Latin class. Probably one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me at school even!
Okay guys, here's the scene: two ladies sit directly to my right one behind the other. On our last test day Lady A (around mid-30's) sat in Lady B's (around 50's) seat. Lady B asked Lady A somewhat nicely to get out of her chair and Lady B complied, I think, I don't really remember that part. It doesn't really matter though, it just sets up the scene. :)
Anywho, Lady A was missing for the next two class days after the test and during those days Lady B complained before, during, and after class about Lady A taking her seat.
Well, today was the apocalypse of the Ladies in Latin. Lady A arrived and sat in the much coveted seat. When Lady B arrived she told Lady A that she wanted her seat back and she needed to quit stealing it from her. So Lady A replies in a snooty manner, "I didn't realize we had assigned seating in this class!". After some childish bickering (that was only the beginning!) about whether or not Lady A should get up (and after her refusing) Lady A then stormed out of the room. All the rest of us looked around in amazement but that sentiment os shock was not about to end.
The teacher then arrived and made his way up to the front of the room. Within seconds Lady B stormed back in and told the teacher that "there is a problem!". She then proceeds to complain to him about Lady A and telling him that they cannot work it out. He tries to hide a smile and asks Lady A to please move back as there are plenty of seats available. Lady A then refused because she "got here first". Lady B then stomps back to the seat behind Lady A and they begin to mutter under their breaths things like "shut up!" "you shut up!" "I got here first!" and other such mature statements. Finally, in order to start the class and get some sort of semblance of peace back in the classroom, the teacher moves first Lady A to another chair and then Lady B to a chair on the other side of the room.
I could not believe their behavior! They were some of the oldest people in the classroom and they could not resolve such a simple conflict.
I wonder if that says something about how the rest of our nation is. So self-focused and immature. What are your thoughts on this, guys?
Well, I thought I would post something other than "what I did today". Hope you guys enjoyed reading this as much as I did experiencing it. :) Tim said he wished I had had a video camera to catch the whole thing. :)

NO WAY!! That's hilarious Stace! I agree with Tim, I wish it'd been filmed.
On a serious note, just this morning I was listening to dearest Chuck Swindoll rave about selfishness.(Record the broadcast from "Insight.org" and play it for the psycho ladies.)
Just the same, I couldn't help but start thinking about how territorial and stingy I've become since moving in with my sisters. It's embarrassing how stupid I can act over a bar of soap, an apple, a shirt... you get the pic.
I hafta admit tho, your ladies have taken this to a whole new level. Keep me posted.
HaHaHa, that was a good one! oh boy! its too unbelievable, i wish i was there, i would have fallen off of my seat.
