Do you know who dislikes the lack of accountability for misbehaved students in schools even more than teachers?
The good kids who actually want to learn.
They’re often the ones being silently bullied, distracted, intimidated, or forced to sit in chaos every day while administrators let it continue.
When a severely misbehaved student is suspended, it’s often a relief for the students trying to do the right thing, too.
That time Lucille Ball did the Charleston with her daughter Lucie Arnaz and best friend GINGER ROGERS — who left us 31yrs ago today — on “Here's Lucy” in 1971.
I love this ❤️
No matter how many times I watch it, I can't stop laughing!
The reactions from the right one and the one on the left are hilarious... They're just trimming nails, but
("Next... it's my turn...") that fear is the scariest part, right? 😂😂

There’s a mom at our school drop-off. Messy bun, always three minutes late, kids usually eating dry cereal out of a Ziploc. The "Pinterest moms" always whispered about her. I honestly felt a little bad for her.
Then one day at the playground, my neurodivergent son had a massive, violent sensory meltdown. I’m sitting in the dirt, crying, totally paralyzed.
The "perfect" moms just stared and pulled their kids away.
Suddenly, she’s there. The messy mom.
She drops her giant bag, sits right in the dirt next to us, pulls a heavy sensory toy out of her purse, and calmly shields my son from the crowd. No panic. No judgment. He regulated in three minutes. I was speechless.
We had coffee after. She told me her house is a disaster and she has severe ADHD, but she knows exactly what a nervous system collapse looks like.
I asked her how she deals with the judgmental stares from the other moms.
She took a sip of her cold coffee and said: "Perfect moms know how to bake organic muffins. Chaotic moms know how to survive the trenches."
Every time I see her running late now, I just smile. Girls, be like the messy mom. Stop apologizing for your chaos.

Every time her son has a birthday, his mother takes him to the cemetery to pick up "the present his father gave him." The intention is to keep him alive in the child's memory.
Not every mother would go to these lengths. Kudos to her.
