Silly Would-You-Rathers

Speaker 2 0:53

And today we have a super special guest for National School Counselor Week. Ms. Morrison is from Hart County. She and her husband, Rakolya Morrison, have two beautiful children, Khloe and Case. She has worked in education for 12 years. She has taught first grade, fifith grade, and special education. Also um called SPED. And for the past two years, she has been our awesome school counselor here at Hartwell Elementary. We are so uh glad ys here today, Miss Morrison. And I am so excited to be here, Alice. Yes, it really is an amazing place here in the library. Um okay, Miss Morrison, we have some very serious podcast questions for you today. Question number one: would you rather have spaghetti hair or pancake feet?

Speaker 1:57

Oh my goodness, Alice. I would rather have spaghetti hair because I love spaghetti, and anytime I get hungry, I can just pull my hair around and just take a bite.

Speaker 2 2:06

Yeah, but make sure you don't eat too much, or you'll become bald like Voldemort. That is true. Okay. Question number two. If you had a superpower at school, what would it be?

Superpower And Counselor Identity

Speaker 2:23

Oh my goodness. My superpower would be making everyone feel safe, seen, and heard.

Speaker 2 2:30

Yeah. The safety power.

Speaker 2:32

That's it.

Speaker 2 2:35

Okay. Question number three. What would your counselor's superhero name be?

Speaker 2:40

Well, given that we talk about heart all the time, I think it's only fitting that I be called the heart helper.

Speaker 1 2:49

Ooh, nice one. That's a good one.

Weirdest Food Combo Confession

Speaker 2 2:54

Okay, question number four. What's the weirdest food combo you actually like? Okay, Alice, please try not to laugh.

Speaker 3:04

I love going to Chip-fil-A and ordering a small fry with a small mac and cheese with chicken nuggets, asking for a salad bowl without the salad, putting all of it together, putting ranch dressing and the sriracha sauce on it and the Polynesian sauce, closing it and shaking it all together and then eating it.

unknown 3:26

Wow.

Speaker 2 3:30

Okay.

Speaker 3:31

Like they probably know my order as soon as I pull up.

Fears, Shoes, And Glitter Choices

Speaker 2 3:44

Okay, question number five. What's something students would be surprised to learn about you?

Speaker 3:50

You know, Alice, I was a little nervous to share this, but hopefully my students would not use it against me. But I am terrified of skonks.

Speaker 2 4:01

I would pro I pro I definitely get that. I mean, I haven't actually ever met a skunk, but I know they will make you stink. And having to go to school all stinky is pro and having to worry about a bunch of people laughing at you. Yeah. It's just so much. Yeah. I totally get that. For sure.

Speaker 1 4:20

And I think the only way to get the smell off is to take a tomato juice bath, isn't it? Yes. That's what my grandmother told me.

Speaker 2 4:26

Okay. Um but let's move on. Okay. Um question number six. If your shoes could talk, what would they say about your day?

Speaker 4:37

If my shoes could talk, they would probably say, Woo!

Speaker 2 4:40

We have waltz all over this school today. So silly. Okay. Question number seven. Would you rather have glitter follow you everywhere or confetti pop every time you talk?

Speaker 5:00

Oh, for sure, the glitter following me everywhere because I would feel like a superstar.
