Handbells + Tounge = ????

How many times do I need to tell kids not to touch, spit, or lick the bells? I mean, seriously! I have never been tempted to lick a bell, and yet last night I had some 4th grader licking away like it was an ice cream cone. Why don't I just give her a $100 bill to lick next week! I weep for the future of this nation.

Okay, so now I can post. This licking thing has GOT to stop! I mean, what? When I look at a handbell, the first thing I think is "oooh, shiny!", not "oooh, doughnut!" Seriously, I'm not sure what that 4th-grader was thinking.

Stop sucking that monkey's teat! Don't make me come in there, young man!

A new rule should be implemented that requires all handbell players to pass a maturity and maturity test. Can't count to four? Unable to work with others? Incapable of treating bells with respect? Take 'em out back and give 'em a good pummeling.

I can imagine the release form now..."Conductor is not liable for any injury, harm, tort, poisoning, malfeasance, or dismemberment arising from Child's participation in the said activity."

I'd sure like to see that dismemberment case...AACK! My big toe!
