I have lots of experience with children of all ages. I was a camp counselor for years, I worked as the children's manager of a bookstore, and I've been babysitting since before I was old enough to stay at home alone. (Seriously, my parents let me take care of the neighbor's kids before I was allowed to stay by myself. I'm pretty sure that I still need supervision when I'm left home alone.) Regardless, as much time as I spent with kids, I still love them, and want to have my own awesome children one day. The one thing I don't want, is a crazy, insane, famous child for a kid. And don't worry, I won't be entering my child into any pagents either. So, listen eggs, don't let yourself become a creepy Olson-like clone or have a strong desire to be a child star. Because you might end up in rehab at 13 like Drew Barrymore.
Congratulations! You are a teacher! Here are the pictures of the kids in your class, followed by the notes from the teachers who had them in class last year (which I totally made up). Figure out who they are!
Dear Mr. and Mrs. ______, your daughter showed up to school today dressed like a swan. Is there something that is troubling her at home that causes her to lash out this way?
Although _____________ looks like an angel, some of the subjects she brings up in class are disturbing to say the least. She has a great voice, but tends to get dirrrty at recess.
Little _____________ is constantly saying that there's "something out there." I have no idea what he's referring to, but it's a little disturbing.
Every time I give little __________ a paper back she cries and says how honored she is to receive it. I'm baffled by this behavior. Maybe I am grading too easily.
Although she looks like a little boy, I'm sure ____________ will be invited to a dance party on Saturday night some time in the future...
Sweet little ____________ is adorable, but every time he talks, he just seems so much dumber.
Little __________ has an odd obsession with blood and constantly is complaining to her fellow classmates that something must be done about inequalities in the world.
This student is simply the best.
Answers: Bjork, Christina Aguliera, David Duchovny, Halle Berry, Janet Reno, Keanu Reeves, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Tina Turner,
P.S. Today is my mommy's birthday! And even though I'm not famous yet, I'm sure one day she'll be able to make a killing my selling my baby pictures too. Happy birthday mom!

Janet Reno looked like Bob's Big Boy.
Madonna looks like a lost picture of baby Anne Frank.
Bjork looked like the movie poster for a horror film about a little ghost trapped in an old house who would write HELP ME backwards on the walls and mirrors.
And Aguilera looks like she could have been in my class in preschool! Cute.
I liked your desc. of Halle, p.s.

These were hard! I didn't get any except Christina Aguilera. Although after learning the answers, the clues seem painfully obvious. The quiz got the best of me this week.
