  1. Good Morning, Everyone…I hope this finds you well…
    😱 EARS A BOOK: UNRULY CHILDREN BY MISS B. HAVEN 😱

    🎶 When you were EIGHT and you had BAD TRAITS, you go to SCHOOL and learn the golden rule…So why are you ACTING LIKE A BLOODY FOOL?…If you get hot, you must get cool…BAD BOYS, bad boys whatcha gonna do?…Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?…🎶…”Bad Boys” – Inner Circle 1993 https://tinyurl.com/2xr2ypj8

    😱 Comprised of many different kids, MOSAIC so to speak,
    A classroom shouldn’t be an UPHILL fight with the chalk’s squeak…
    It only takes one PERSON, as little he may be,
    To give a harried teacher the MANTRA of…”God, why me”…
    This child is an ORNERY one, no way will he desist,
    From being so disruptive…though the teacher does INSIST
    The bottom line, there’s no place here for “Well, boys will be boys”…
    Those nails upon a chalkboard? Simply A NOISE THAT ANNOYS …😱

    Hmm..TBT? I’m not sure what to say here. I’ve a family full of teachers, and yes while some days may be more trying than others, this here is definitely not the norm. And waiting until a Parent-Teacher Conference meeting (as noted by the greeting on the board), to address the situation seems way too far-SKETCHED…I mean fetched…But it’s what we’re PRESENTed with today, so I guess we’ll just CHALK it up to the whimsy, and try to LESSON the blow…

    So…A classroom, an old-time chalkboard, a young boy, BRAD, a totally disTAUGHT teacher, and a Mom who possibly might not have been PRESENT as much as she needed to be…

    Anyway…For me, the key here today was the word SOUND used in both our question and Brad’s dialogue. What came to mind immediately was…”Ugh, that NOISE”…which I think is the reaction most people have when hearing fingernails on a chalkboard. https://tinyurl.com/mry587fz …It has to be one of the most ANNOYing sounds to deal with. And there’s really no way to downGRADE it…it’s without a doubt A NOISE THAT ANNOYS….And the looks on the faces of both the Mom and the teacher coiling in response, the arms held out in exasperation, and the SCRATCHy lines that Jeff’s drawn, were more than enough to seal the SQUEAL…I mean deal…I RAISE MY HAND in a high-five once again to D & J! They’re definitely in a CLASS of their own!

    As for the scenario itself? Again, I’m at a loss…While chalkboards are mostly a thing of the past, as far as our puzzle goes, I can’t help but think that if a child was so out of control that a poor teacher is prompted to say that she “can’t get him to stop”…that he’s so DEMONing…I mean demeaning towards authority…well, there should have been a TAUGHTer rein put in place way before today…By this age, Brad should have been SCHOOLed https://tinyurl.com/3heurb6x a long time ago…

    So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I hope Brad straightens out before he gets older and is forced to really face the MUSIC…there could be some serious rePERCUSSIONS by then…😱🙋🏻‍♀️

    SSITIN: New anagram

    ULHPLI: New anagram
    SRONPE: New anagram
    RYEONR: New anagram
    NMRAAT: New anagram

  3. 🤦🏻‍♀️ They agreed, down to a PERSON, that so far it had been an UPHILL battle trying to work on the MOSAIC under these conditions…and finally, even the most ORNERY of the lot, had to INSIST their neighbors cease the MANTRA they kept chanting since it was nothing more than A NOISE THAT ANNOYS…🤦🏻‍♀️

    🤦🏻‍♂️ One PERSON dubbed as ORNERY is seen going UPHILL,
    Another chants a MANTRA, while MOSAIC tiles spill…
    A third tries to stay out of things, and wishes he had missed,
    The whole thing, but he got caught up when others did INSIST…
    They all agree it’s getting hard to possess any poise…
    It’s ending up a free for-all….just A NOISE THAT ANNOYS…🤦🏻‍♂️

  4. 🏫 As a teacher it often is tough,
    Guaranteeing that things won’t get rough…
    Discipline put in place,
    Or there’s chaos to face…
    So a teacher needs show there’s no bluff…🏫

    🤦🏻‍♀️Teacher’s now at the end of her rope,
    She’s exhausted from trying to cope…
    So she questions his Mother,
    ‘Cause if she had her druthers…
    It’s expulsion…(she’s holding out hope)…🤦🏻‍♀️

    💁🏻‍♂️Seems our young boy just doesn’t know fear,
    His behavior makes things pretty clear…
    Trying patience his goal,
    And he’s taken the whole…
    Thing to definitely the 7th gear! 💁🏻‍♂️

    🤷🏻‍♀️Saying, “Enough’s” not doing the trick,
    With this boy who thinks he’s oh so slick…
    But where’s the hammer drop?
    To get this kid to stop?
    The behavior that’s his bailiwick? 🤷🏻‍♀️

    🙇🏻‍♀️Yes, today we have met a young lad,
    Who is driving his teacher quite mad,
    Nothing she says will work,
    This kid’s face?…Quite the smirk…
    Seems no reasoning with this boy, Brad…🙇🏻‍♀️

  5. I was almost there, but missed the boat. There was no blind solve, though I correctly placed NOISE or NOISES in the puzzle….but which one was it gonna be?? I chose the latter, then came up with ANYONE, which did not go anywhere. Adding insult to injury was missing the word THAT….That might have helped. Hats off to the authors for a clever Sunday puzzle !!

  6. Sunday Funday ! I was a little drained in my thought process ! The anagrams were there , but I did have to look up MANTRA ! The jumble was very close to get ! My first word I wrote down was ANNOYS , but I just couldn’t get the rest of the letters to make sense ! And I really wasn’t Annoyed by it ! I just had a good week and my brain was fried ! I hope everybody has a good day and tomorrow Memorial Day !!!!

  7. The words unscrambled with ease today, but a slight pause at ORNERY. For the answer, I guessed NOISE. With the letters left, I saw THAT, and then ANNOY. Easy, but not a blind solve.

  8. Good morning. Everything took me extra time today but all came out OK. No blind solve though. Until tomorrow take care.

  9. A total strikeout on the Jumble this morning. Completely stumped by the mantra anagram then far too many letters for me to solve the cartoon. Maybe I can turn over a new leaf tomorrow.

  10. Paused at mantra but other than that it was a successful morning, and yes, that scratching is a very annoying noise. Have a good Sunday all!
