Let's not forget the wacky teacher...
(I had a point to make, okay?)  
The kids were scared that I was rabid.  
I had to assure them multiple times that it was just Dad's shaving cream...


Point?
President Monsons' Choose Ye This Day conference talk, October 2004

"Let us not find ourselves as indecisive as is Alice in Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. You will remember that she comes to a crossroads with two paths before her, each stretching onward but in opposite directions. She is confronted by the Cheshire cat, of whom Alice asks, “Which path shall I follow?”
The cat answers: “That depends where you want to go. If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn’t matter which path you take.” 6
Unlike Alice, we all know where we want to go, and it does matter which way we go, for the path we follow in this life surely leads to the path we will follow in the next."
Our school theme this year is "Choose Your Own Adventure!"
We plan on having a lot of fun with it!

I thought perhaps your life was enough adventure but it appears that you want more. I'm sure you will all have a fun-tastic adventure this school year.
