Just when I was feeling happy about the White House Correspondents Dinner, #TIL #TodayILearned that there is 900 page document Trump is working from to completely #dismantle the #government.

I think I had heard about the document before, but I didn’t realize the detail, nor that #Trump uses it for much of his policy.

And when you break it up as Pix El, it sounds like Superman's Kryptonian cousin who was a photographer for a newspaper in the Bottle City of Kandor.

Had my youngest student today question what the term 'pseudo-penis' was.

Told them it was above their pay grade and was able to distract them with the trumpets I had brought for today's double lesson.
