That's the way it is.
Well, it's over now.
uh...
and then forget the little of them.
Excuse me, yeah.
Yeah, I think this is a good one.
Bob, you're going to have a, I don't know, maybe 10 is your best name.
Cory.
You think they're better than the other ones.
But they are students and they've written you.
Yeah.
All right.
And also, give the teacher a three.
A little overhand.
All right.
You're a teacher, huh?
Well, how long have you been a teacher?
I didn't find it very different from my mother.
I had people who were, well, I was in college soon.
I tried to inspire them.
All of us, all boys.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Well, I mean, I want to meet them all.
Tell me your first name and last name.
You're in my class.
What's your last name?
My name is Jim.
What's your brother's name?
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
I don't know, let's see.
You're the, what's your name?
She's the director of our school.
Oh, you're the director of the school.
She was just the director of the school.
Ah, I see.
All right.
You'll go, or they'll do, there's some such things.
You on one side, and on the other side, you stand on this side, and on the other side, you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side, and you stand on this side,
I heard that you were going to make it, but I can't believe you're doing this kind of stuff.
Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
Now, I've got a whole year.
Do you all remember this?
This is, uh, let me say that I have many birthdays in my life.
And, uh, I'm not having any pictures.
This is one of the most interesting, most interesting followers of mine.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, that means that you find people.
You have this many inspirational people.
Yeah.
You know, I, uh, I'll let you in on a little secret here.
My, uh, everybody at one time in his life was really supportive of him.
Uh, when I was a man, I said, I have to do a, I have to write a poem to my brother, which was very ill. And I had to write a poem.
How about this?
uh... uh...
But I'm going to let the members of the press see what they have to say.
I'll let them know what they have to say.
I'll let them know what they have to say.
I'll let them know what they have to say.
So, we're going to have to wait a little bit longer.
So we're going to have to wait a little bit longer.
So we're going to have to wait a little bit longer.
yeah yeah
This is the last one.
I'm going to show you what this is to do.
It's by Brian.
I don't know about you.
A birthday is something good.
And if I could, I would celebrate with you today.
But I would just be in the way.
There you are.
This is now his first book.
Because I don't read them all, I'll give them all to the press.
Here's his drawer, you see.
I hope your day is filled with fun, because your job is not just that.
You're right.
Really, I wonder, you know, how many times have you said this to yourself?
How many times?
Uh, this kind of thing.
And of course, we have some collections of this and this.
But we've got mine, because also we're writing a story across the river.
I used to live over there.
And, uh...
What we're going to do now is, if you all like it a little bit, would you like some birthday cake?
Yes, we'll do that.
Or at least I'll have cake.
I'm not going to give you birthday cake, because you have to be a little old.
And my daughter and I thank you very much.
We have no poets here.
We have no cartoonists here.
We have no presidents here.
But we have boys.
Oh, good.
It was made at a school, and we hope that you find it useful and interesting on the future of music.
It says modern Chinese, but I don't understand it.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Well, I'll tell you, we can't go late here, because it's not in the digital world.
But one of the reasons I'm going is that I hope to be able to take a boat in the world of olden times, so that regardless of the differences we have between countries, we can have a good time.
People like yourself, young people, who are growing up, who are living in a world that's old, that people like to live in a world that's old and old and old.
So at a time when you have to be perhaps not my age, but perhaps half my age, you can say, oh, it's bad.
Because I don't have the money.
I just don't feel it's worth it.
uh... uh...
We have to see if there's plenty of characters if we want to find any clues.
There's all of them.
We have to run away all the way.
It is.
Well, I guess we have to go now.
I'll get you some sun from the airplane on the way to Queens.
We're going to give you a reminder.
This is for 10.
This is for 10 weeks here.
When I'm trying to kill, you know, when I'm trying to kill you, you know, I'm trying to kill you.
I'm trying to kill you.
And then I sign it with this name, 32%.
And I get each one who's gonna respond to the bill of hands.
Now, what I'd like to do is give each one a bill of hands.
It's a departmental hand, so it's gonna be next to the White House.
And that's gonna be good to keep in mind.
Okay, let's see.
Here is the seal, and we will hold you where you want at any time.
At one, two.
That's what we have for life.
So there we are.
So those are the services there.
You know who that is?
What?
Good.
See, that is one of these portraits that very few have seen.
It was by one of the Peel's.
There were several Peel's, you know, Mr. Rembrandt Peel, that was painted.
But this was the Peel who was, I think, the father of one of these, this painting, Washington Children's, with a different face than some of the others.
That was it.
Mr. President, was it that Saturday night when the bill was signed?
It had fallen right across the road.
Yeah, this, that's right, the eyes of theater, there are many, there are paintings of that kind that are pictured in such a way that it's an area you're looking at that the head is looking at.
And down beneath that is a star.
As you see, that's a student's glass that the president has sealed and put it in.
That's the first one.
