A collection of experiences from more than twenty years of teaching, these snippets of students and their various actions and reactions will give readers indelible images of life in the classroom. Stories are amusing, poignant, sad, and thought-provoking. The book's title quotes a student who, upon completing his science test, first asked where he should put the test, then truthfully said, "There's a spider in your hair." One story describes a principal's gentle handling of a kindergarten student's tantrum, and another tells that a student's idea of an apology was to write, "Sorry for tripping you. Even thought you faked it."

"The author's light, readable style fits perfectly with this collection of stories, essays and anecdotes. . . . angry students, head lice, food, sleepy teenagers, homework excuses . . . .These are all ripe topics for humor and nostalgia." Judge, 23rd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards

"Her love of being a teacher also shines through in a list of her 'favorite moments': Tying neckties in the narthex just before graduation Mass begins; supervising an after-school detention and then spending the time having a meaningful conversation instead of making the student do the writing assignment; holding the newborn baby of that student you hoped would make a good mother. Or father." The Criterion, August 14, 2015
