First Grade Classroom Setup | Day 1 | What Came in my Room?!

Hello teacher friends! So I am definitely super grateful I can start getting my classroom ready in July! I am a first-year (first grade) teacher, so I wanted to document everything I am going through. Open me for info! ♡ see more...
NEW SETUP VIDEOS! bit.ly/MCC2020s...
This video is the first video for my Classroom Setup Series. I finally got into my classroom, but there is still so much more to do. As a first year teacher, I am definitely not short on ideas, but I only have a month to get my baby up and going, so we will both see how things turn out. Please let me know how your room is coming along! I spent most of Day 1 sorting through what came in my room and cleaning :)

I hope these videos get your creative bug going! Stay tuned for fun classroom vlogs!
Happy teaching ♡

[@Straightouttaliverpool]

Damn girl you were brave af going under that sink with no gloves lmfaooo

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Looking back, cringing. haha!

[@SabrinaRayy]

Last year at my new school I moved all of the furniture by myself, then the principal told us to make sure we get a custodian to help us so that we won't scratch the floors... oops lol. But depending on your students, some may have lice or parents who smoke, so putting their jackets next to each other might not be the best thing. & just a reminder to leave space for your students' school supplies.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Yes! I keep thinking about those coat hooks! I really want to move the ones under my whiteboard but I'm running out of wall space :) And of course!

[@luhxx_6656]

I got lice when I was younger because the hooks at my school were right next to eachother

[@lilpapayaaa]

I remember we were instructed to hang out coats underneath our backpacks when we had lice breakouts in order to prevent hoods from touching or w/e

[@thecomplexion7524]

I freaked out at 4:03 because i thought you grabbed some random bottle from under the sink and started drinking it😳

[@MrsCallsCampers]

OH NO! Sounds like something I would do by accident.

[@kindwinners4500]

Lol that’s exactly what I thought!

[@lukemartin1093]

The bottle is a drink of something it’s not cleaning stuff

[@Trinity-yh7fq]

Yeah that’s what I thought 😂

[@megan8812]

This is a huge classroom 😂

[@mastercommander7969]

Cleaning and setting up the room is the only reason I'd want to become a teacher, so therapeutic but probably gets old

[@maggiehannah7678]

I can tell how committed to making your classroom the perfect learning environment and warms my heart! I’m glad so many little learners will have a teacher who is so dedicated!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you so so so much!

[@zelmaa5736]

I think you have done an amazing job. I am in my 36th year of teaching (and still loving it) and I have lost track of how many times I have had to change rooms. At one stage I moved EVERY year for 12 years. I changed years levels a few times, and year levels changed zones the rest of the times. I can't remember a room being totally clean when I moved in, but some were definitely worse than others. A couple of people had a reputation for not cleaning their rooms when they moved and they left things in a really bad condition. Others didn't find out until the last minute, so moving was a mad rush and I totally understood. A few times they were leaving the school and didn't really care. I always work hard to make sure my room is ready for the next person, simply out of respect. I would hate to think that someone was going to have to deal with my mess.Off topic, but you look really good with your hair tied up, so definitely don't worry about that. Setting up a room is a hot and sweaty task. Hair up is the first thing I ever did when my hair was longer.I just subscribed and I look forward to watching how your classroom progresses. Hugs. xx

[@PuttingFourthEffort]

We are the same person!! You remind me so much of myself! I am so so happy I found your channel and wish you the best of luck your first year(((:

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I love your channel! And I love meeting other teachers that are so uplifting and easy to connect to. Thanks so much for your kind words 💛💛💛

[@deandreamoorer8391]

I am not a teacher but my 9th grade teacher put some cute contact paper on her storage thing on wheel so it would look less industrial

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Love!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

To anyone watching this video in 2020: HI! So glad you are here! THERE ARE NEW SETUP VIDEOS! bit.ly/MCC2020setupplaylist I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to say thank you for watching my old classroom set up videos. They are so special to me. I am job-searching right now for my next position, and I can't wait to do more setup videos. Make sure you subscribe! I am also very active on Instagram, so follow me there. I respond to EVERY DM! I would love to send you some encouragement (new teachers!) I love you! xx Mayleen

[@lindseytaylor3357]

Mrs. Call's Campers I’m rewatching! Love you! 💖💖

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Lindsey Plans thank you girly!! 💛💛💛

[@the5chaps]

Great start to your first classroom! It does get messier before it gets neat when moving in. I am sure little by little it will come together. I’ll be watching for updates! 😉

[@MrsCallsCampers]

ACupfulofHope thank you for watching!Right now it feels like I am knee deep in the mess! 😂

[@tabithamcauley]

You should move the coat rack cabinet near the hooks by the front door so you don't block the back exit and so the bags on the hooks are near their jackets. And you could use contact paper from amazon on the cabinet to spice it up (it comes off easy after & easy application)

[@brooklynsevage8243]

I start my final year of high school next term and I’m planning on teaching primary, I’m exiting to set up my first class room even though that’s like 5 years away

[@tinywitch8677]

I'm not a teacher nor do I plan on being one but I just wanted to say how much respect I have for teachers. My step-sister is also a first-grade teacher and she reminds me a lot of you. Good luck!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Aw, Mel thank you!!!! ♡

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Sorry about my AC unit affecting some of the sound! Hope you guys can get into your classrooms soon ☺️ let me know what fun plans you have!

[@opaljade98]

Mrs. Call's Campers CONGRATULATIONS! I love that you are a teacher, I just wanted to let you know that when I was a first grader I was able to read those read alouds by myself. My mom (who was a teacher) always promoted improving reading as the student was ready, not to keep them from reading stuff they "may not be able to". Trial and error is how students come to love to read. However, I know you'll do amazing! I just remembered what it felt like to be a kid and told that I wasn't allowed to read because "it wasn't my reading level". Your students will love you, good luck!

[@talesofasecondgradeteacher5564]

Hey! My name is Lacey and I am a first year teachers as well. I also started up a KZbin channel. I can’t wait to see how you are setting up your classroom ❤️

[@kmarie7463]

New subscriber here! I am a kindergarten teacher in Southeast Texas. I am so excited for you!! I know how fun (and hard) it is to set up your own classroom! I am going into my 13th year of teaching. I still love it! Advice would be to find a teacher buddy. I have one and I love her so much! We split making our copies, lesson plan together and other stuff that is yucky. It makes it so much more fun! Good luck!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Hi there ♡ Thank you so much for your kindness! It is incredibly fun and INCREDIBLY hard - mostly because I am very indecisive! :) I love hearing from veteran teachers who still love what they do!!! I have met with my team and all eight of them seem like amazing women! I truly feel like I can go to anyone in my entire school for anything (I feel so lucky!) Thank you!

[@jocelync1658]

Do you have any advice going into the teaching industry? I am interested in starting but i have no idea where to start, what classes i need what i should expect?! Anything is appreciated, thanks! :)))

[@kmarie7463]

I got my degree in interior design, but then went back for my teaching certificate after I realized interior design wasn't for me. I haven't been to college in 20 years! I know it's changed since then! Lol! I just went to an advisor at the college I wanted to attend and she set me up with my classes.

[@aquagamer1212]

Jos Go for Early Education!

[@learningwithlidz]

I love that you clean everything! When I moved into my new school last year everything was so dusty and gross. I'm pretty sure I went through 4 containers of Lysol wipes haha! I'm binging your videos can't wait to see how your room turns out

[@rachelherron3608]

The organization of under the sink WAS AO SATISFYING

[@TheGenerator26]

Bro I remember watching these vids 2 years ago when I was anxious about starting high school they were so calming 🥺

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Genevieve Eddinger welcome back 💛💛💛

[@gracecarney8880]

I just came back to watch this again! I didn't realise how long it has been! I remember when it first came out... In love with your videos

[@EveryLilPiece]

Goodwill, St. Vincent's, and other thrift stores are the best place to look for children's books! The Goodwill near me sells all children's books for 50 cents! They once told me that the best times to look for books are right before school starts, right after school ends, right before winter break, and right after winter break because those are the times that people tend to clean out their personal libraries. I have gotten so many good books (from Harry Potter to Dr. Seuss, Jan Brett to Eric Carle, and so many more)for my classroom library by doing this and most look brand new or never used!

[@KimonoSuki]

Coming back to this video two years later. Last time I commented, I was a sophomore in high school loving this because it reminded me of my summers helping my old elementary school teachers set up their classrooms. Now I'm a senior in high school and I'm applying to colleges, planning to major in Elementary Teacher Education! Ahhh,, man, this whole series, and the rest of your videos, has a whole new meaning to me now that I've decided to become a teacher. I'm so excited!! :D

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Morning Star THIS MESSAGE MADE MY DAY! Crazy how time flies. So proud of you and happy for you!!!!!! 💛💛💛💛💛

[@skywoods2370]

I can’t wait until I finish high school so I can start college so I can be a teacher 😩 I’m sooooooo ready

[@taylorpeace1653]

I'm about to set up my first classroom, in first grade, as a first year teacher! I'm so excited to get all my stuff moved in and set up. This video makes me even more excited and gave me even more ideas and tips. I can't wait to watch your next videos in this series

[@taylorpeace1653]

ALSO I feel the same about wanting to make a great classroom library! I have some great books and feel like I have a lot but once I get home and put them in their sorted bins there just isn't enough!! I found a store were I live that people sell their used books to, so the children's books are 25 cents and up

[@MrsCallsCampers]

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! And thank you so much. I am also glad you know it's a priority!!!

[@explorewithcricut]

Taylor Peace hey, I’m going in to my first year or college and I really wanted to go into teaching, how long did it take you to graduate?

[@taylorpeace1653]

I have a bachelors degree and it took me 4 years, two years taking gen. ed. courses and two years in the education program. I have friends who graduated with two degrees, special ed. and elementary ed. that also did that in 4 years.

[@xXSYK0NAUTXx]

I love watching videos like these and cleaning room videos, they're so therapeutic 😂 Good luck with this class! 💞

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you!!! I met some of my kiddos already and am so dang happy!

[@xXSYK0NAUTXx]

Mrs. Call's Campers That's great! I miss being in primary school 🙁 You've done such a great job with the room so far!

[@lauravoitik9315]

I work with special needs kids and I've been watching how teachers work and it's hard work! Never knew how much money they use! And cleaning they do it's such inspiration! I only take my kids home and to school! I hope your first day was good! :) im going to be watching more of your videos❤

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that

[@Javacado70]

Congratulations are starting your first year!! I am also a first grade teacher and love it! In regards to books, do NOT forget DONORS CHOOSE!! Seriously! I'm sure you've heard of it but if you need more info, any of us teachers can help you out. I'm sure teachers at your school site are aware as well. There are many alternatives to purchasing your own books. There's nothing wrong with that but there are additional resources for free, cheap or donated books, materials, equipment, furniture, etc. (like donors choose!) Looking forward to watching you!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Unfortunately my district isn't allowing us to do them anymore. :(

[@Javacado70]

What?! Why? I'm so sorry to read that!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I think somewhere along the line, someone abused it :( They are letting me finish the one I started and that is it!

[@Javacado70]

Wow. That really stinks. I wonder how someone can abuse it? At least you can finish your current project.

[@julianguyen2224]

I love how clean the classroom is already! This makes me happy to see some teachers care about the environment they work in!

[@sunshineandchalk6705]

You really tackled that cleaning job in this blog! Even though it seems like a waste of time, it needs to be done before you can put all your things away. I take all things out of my shelves and wipe them at the beginning of every school year (and multiple times throughout because dust is no joke). I’m so happy to watch your class setup journey!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Yay!! Thank you so much! Now that it's done, it feels so good!

[@CharliEdwards]

Seeing the I love my hair book made my heart so happy!💁🏾‍♀️❤️

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I LOVE THAT BOOK ♡

[@BrookelleBlasphemy]

Amen

[@jessicagraham734]

Congradulations !! Thank you for being a teacher its so important .. It's team work in raising children .. Thank you!!

[@whitneychilds3511]

I watched all of these last year and now excited for round two! Good luck on your job search. I would love to see more setup videos.

[@theperezfamily8582]

Just found your channel :). I’m also a teacher and new to KZbin! I’ve been on a classroom set up binge and it’s making me super excited to get in my room next week!

[@kierstenward3905]

Just found your channel! I’m a junior who just switched to education. My current track has me graduating December 2021. I’m SO nervous but SO excited

[@Mazoodle]

I think a love of Goo Gone is a universal that all teachers (and the kids of teachers) know.

[@megantrusty73]

I want to become a teacher soooo bad! I’m going into my sophomore year of high school and that’s all I can think about! People are telling me I shouldn’t do it though because “teachers don’t get paid enough” but I want to do it so bad!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Try it! You never know!

[@MonicazProduction]

Just get a rich husband lol

[@alisharoux1808]

Megan and Reese My advice would be to do it if you want to even thought it might not pay a lot. You can always do extra activities for extra money, like after school drama or something. I am almost going to start my studies to be a teacher for grade one's and my plan is to do nails for extra money. Follow your heart. If you do what you want, you will be happy!😁

[@shania2003]

I want to be a lawyer

[@-ashaylaaa7374]

So 49,000 a year isn’t enough?

[@jilltibbetts3]

You can slip a small rug under any ladder or stool to make it more stable. One with a rubber backing is best! Cute video :)

[@kendralynn5958]

This fall I start my first year of college (for elementary education) and I truly can not WAIT until i get my first classroom!! I love this video and I hope your school year goes well!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

That's what will keep you going, girl. I promise it is so worth everything!

[@johnnam1380]

5:21 😂😂😂😂 basically me when I go into my classroom this week to get organized

[@kinleabarnhill8205]

watched all of these last year, these are the best classroom videos so I had to come back!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

YOU ARE AMAZING!

[@kinleabarnhill8205]

Mrs. Call's Campers No you are! you really inspire me to be the teacher I've always wanted

[@thekindergartencastle6457]

Fellow TN teacher here!! I’ll be doing this same thing tomorrow and hopefully filming my journey as well!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

YAY!

[@lindseylearns1356]

1. Just found you on insta and am now slowly watching all of your past videos! They are all great! 2. Your pinned comment/message to your viewers is so sweet and so thoughtful! 3. You scored so much cleaning supplies / sanitizers! Who knew how valuable that would be now 😂 thanks for creating such great /helpful content!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Hey Lindsey! Thank you SO much for watching! I so so so appreciate it! Welcome to the family! :)

[@rayijamona497]

I'm glad I found this video in my recommendations. Next year I am going to college to become a elementary teacher. And this gave me great hopes for my future to see a young teacher in this work field. I wish you good luck in your first year. (Sorry for my bad English. It is not my native language)

[@KayGee_yt]

I work at a preschool abs recently watched the lead teachers in some of their set up. the same way I admired their dedication and excitement for the school year is how I feel for yours

[@shiningbrightinthesky3231]

Wooowh love this class room its not just babyish/kidish but its grown up too I ❤️ it

[@morganucodon4847]

These videos are great I’m only a junior in high school but I’m a sucker for organization. I love this and I’m definitely subscribing!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Welcome to the family!

[@thuy-anle1793]

Watching this while I miss school

[@KimonoSuki]

I sometimes help my old elementary school teachers set up and break down their classrooms so this was super fun to watch! I'm heading into my sophomore year of highschool in two weeks :)

[@xghostgirll]

You’re literally so cute and adorable! Good luck with teaching your little beans!!💖

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you! Beautiful name!

[@leannahawkins6620]

This is the first video of yours I have watched and I love it. I want to be a teacher and am currently a senior in high school. This is just inspiring. Thank you!

[@MaryjoeCavazos]

Im also in education and have a year left of classes and a year left of internship and I am soooooo nervous because time flies!!! Love seeing you decorate your new classroom, it gives me more of a look inside of how it will be decorating a classroom! You are going to do an awesome job

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Aw good luck to you! Yay! And thank you for that! So kind of you!

[@donut645]

excited to follow you through this journey! i’m still in high school but i aspire to be a teacher :)💕

[@Juniebeaniebaby101]

Oh my goodness! I’m actually looking forward to following you on your teaching journey. You’re so pure and energetic and definitely cut out to be a teacher :)

[@sineadmannion7814]

OMG!!! You have the same mindset as me! I had to do exactly the same when I moved into a new classroom. It sucks to do all that work especially when it’s caused by someone else, but it’s worth it in the long term. Well done, you! 😊👏

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Absolutely!!

[@dianepenticoff4515]

You did a great job! It always takes longer than you expect to start the year! Don’t be discouraged. I had to pack everything up in May because my school was getting new carpet. I’ve been to school two short days and am still working on my books. I’ve taught school for 32 years and 26 years in first grade. I haven’t taught any of the years the same. Growing as an educator benefits your students and I love to learn! Having a solid library is important, especially in first grade. Don’t rush for quantity over quality. Goodwill is a great place to find books. Visit often. Be sure to use Scholastic book orders to earn points for free books. There are also many sources for ebooks. Sorry for rambling.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you so much, Diane!

[@Singleredrose89]

Wow. So much work goes into putting a classroom together!

[@ReadWriteandShine]

Wow you had so much to clean! We basically all had to move classrooms this year and before we could leave for summer break we had to get our room seen so we wouldn’t leave a bunch of “junk” for the next teacher and I am so glad they did that because my first year there was so much that I had to clean and get rid of from past teachers. Have you reached out to your school to see if they provide any books? Creating a library is so overwhelming I hope they can help!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I have been picking up from outside teacher's rooms! Other than that I am buying everything!

[@angiejean5502]

I wanna be a teacher as well:) good luck with your first year!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thanks, Angie!

[@aleishabyrne2783]

I would love to have u as a teacher all my old teachers were so old and no fun 😂, ur so creative and u know what ur doing before u do it !! Good luck in through oot ur year xx

[@AshMashAttack]

I just got my teaching cert and am so excited to watch this series! I've yet to get my first classroom but can't wait too see what you do with yours. So glad to finally get to see a first year teacher's experiences as I will be in the same shoes soon

[@SarahNichole]

I am so glad I found your channel! I have one more class to finish my bachelors in Early Childhood Development and I am taking my EC-6 content test on the 6th. So nervous about that! I am an aide right now but should start teaching next year and I feel like I have SO much to learn! This is your very first year right? You seem so confident! I am so excited to learn more this year as an aide and really start taking notes and paying attention to things that will help me out next year.

[@sadieb2823]

Thanks for the video! I am a 3rd year teacher, 2nd year in Grade 1 in Canada. I really enjoyed watching this video and know exactly what its like. :) My classroom library was limited to start but over the last couple years it has grown slowly but rarely have I bought new books. I often go to the thrift store and look for books! There are really book titles and good quality books if you're okay with taking the time to browse. It's my therapy :D Keep up the great work!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I think that's the problem I've run into, Sadie! I go in and only have a limited amount of time - so I end up rushing and not finding any books :( I want to make it a priority to go back and get some good ones!

[@jaylarae9365]

Loved your video! :) I’m a first year first grade teacher in Indiana, can’t wait to see more of your videos!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thank you so much! I just subbed :)

[@jaylarae9365]

Mrs. Call's Campers thanks so much!

[@katiekillme870]

I’ve got a suggestion for when you set your classroom up next. Work in sections/ quarters. Because when something gets into a clean area you’ll want to clean it up straight away which is a good thing

[@JeremyMichelbook]

It was fun discovering all the interesting things with you. I am also a first grade teacher and vlogger.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I'll have to check out your channel!!

[@carolinebaranczyk6832]

I am such a worry wort....but in the importance of safety we have to keep exits clear (I think the code is 3feet) I once moved a shelf and was embarrassed to be informed I had to move the shelf back (fire safety code). And we couldn't have cleaning products in childrens reach...it was to be locked...or removed....it is all for the safety and health of small children...I love how much work you are putting into your room...can't wait to see more..

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Hm. I don't think we have the same regulations in our school....I'll double check! That's very important.

[@carolinebaranczyk6832]

+Mrs. Call's Campers Thank you Mayleen for your reply...I know how much love you have put into your room and it is coming along beautifully....those first years are......about every emotion there is....I see you have a great support group growing here on your channel...Congratulations !!! I can't wait to see your new year begin....love Caroline

[@brooklynn2941]

My aunt was a kindergarten teacher and my favorite days were when she asked me to help set up for classes and such! She recently moved to a new school and I loved helping her!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

It's so fun!

[@wordiebirdie]

GIRL... check out GoodWill for books and also Scholastic! You can get a ton of books ordered from their teacher book club for like $1 or less. And they give lots of bonus points for more books, sometimes free books too!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I just got my scholastic items from my school!

[@millisagable9332]

I really wish when I was in school they had flexible seating because i have sensory and ADHD issues.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I wish I could send this your way!

you should make a height chart with the block of wood ♥️

[@chuue]

*I don't know if you have these books but I recommend the "What if you have animal-" series. I used to really like those books in Kindergarten & First Grade! It gives fun facts about animal body parts (that sounds wrong) But like ears, teeth, feet ect. and fun pictures to go along with it!*

[@LoveeBug14]

I love watching these! I’m going into my second year of being a preschool/pre-K teacher so I know how exciting (and tiring) it is to set up a classroom! How old are you? And where did you go to school? I’m just curious and think it’s so cool seeing young teachers like me!

[@chelsey8737]

This is interesting. Ill be a senior in high school so obviously my teachers don't do exactly this but its interesting to see how a teacher starts the year

[@beccawildel8845]

Lol....not sure how I stumbled over this but I did. Watching you makes me wish I could help you (but I don't live near you so that won't happen). Glad I found these videos though. If my daughter would have finished collage I would have been helping her this year. Best of luck to you!

[@athenabeck9950]

New sub right here! I've been really into watching these types of videos lately , haha! I'm going into 7th grade in September so, this brings back tons of memories!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

That's so fun! Welcome to the family!

[@athenabeck9950]

Thank you!

[@miababy221]

Lmao! When you took a sip I thought it was a cup you found under the sink! Omg ! Lol. You are so cute. What a cool video to watch. I teach kindergarten and preschool and will be the Lead teacher this year. Im sooooo nervous!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Wow I laughed out loud to this haha! So happy for you!

Now I know what the teachers in primary school go through

[@jessicarake9330]

The rooms are massive compared to Australian classrooms! How exciting for you to be setting up your first classroom! I can't wait until I get to do this!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I do think mine is a bit large! Some teachers have smaller rooms. I'm so grateful!

[@niamhnir]

I work in a preschool and buy the majority of my books in the charity shop, can usually get 3 for €2, theres a few cult favourites that I need to buy for September as I cant find them in charity shops and when I am away I do try and pick up a book that I will pay full price for.

There was a lot of grime, but maybe the prior teacher had health problems and couldn't clean - or really, who knows. I was in a total of five classrooms during my teaching days and they were rarely clean but I tried not to judge and just make it my own. :) You will feel great when you finish that first day happy but exhausted!

When I was in school a couple of my classrooms had wooden boards like your blue one, it was used to cover the ac vent, some of the kids would get really cold having to sit next to it so it was used to cover it sometimes to help the kids not be so cold.. just a thought by where it was placed!

I think you made some great progress on your classroom.

Ahh hello from a new subscriber ! I'm so glad I found your channel. I am beginning student teaching next week and I'm so nervous but excited. I love your videos and I'm inspired to start my own channel. Any tips would greatly be appreciated! Hope you have a great first year! :)

I saw someone else's comment about putting hand prints on the blue board and think it's a great idea. Maybe you can put the children's birthdays on the hands too?!

I am excited that I came to check out your channel. I found your channel from Education in the mitten. I think if you decide to not use the storage cabinet by the back door for student stuff it could be great as a station for dress up clothes.

4:03 For a split second I thought you were sampling a cup you found under the sink to see what was in it! Lol!
