Thanks for helping. I'm responsible for attendance. I'll be sure to turn in your number.
Next was today's game. It was a competition between two people playing head-shoulders-knees-and-toes. When "noodle" was called, the two went for a segment of pool noodle. The victor was the first to grab the noodle.
