So maybe I'm not quite substitute material...
I was helping a boy with his homework in my Afterschool Program yesterday, April 17, and he was making a weather report for the 1800s because they were studying early life on the Prairie. He asked me if the Prairie would have Earthquakes, because he wanted to forecast one. But I, in my great wisdom, explained that Illinois used to be Prairie, and there are no earthquakes in Illinois. He asked me about earthquakes about 3 more times yesterday, and I kept telling him there are NO earthquakes in Illinois.
And of course last night there was the biggest earthquake in Illinois since 1968.
When I got to work this morning, one of my coworkers asked if I felt the earthquake last night (I had no idea there had been an earthquake, we totally slept through it) and I thought he was just goofing around because he knew how many times the little boy yesterday had asked me about earthquakes, but it turned out that nature just totally had to make me look like an idiot!

Brilliant! Oh, Katie that boy is going to so rub it in your face, or at least he should. Also, Shelley and I totally slept through the last earthquake we had here.
Oh, my gosh, Katie. That is such a riot. The earthquake actually woke me and Joe up! No joke - we figured either our house was sliding down the hill or it was an earthquake, but we went back to bed. In the morning on the news, the earthquake information was everywhere and everyone was calling in. That's hilarious you slept through it.
Oh my god, that is HILARIOUS!!! That poor boy will never trust beautiful blonde women for the rest of his life!!
