Funny Story. . .
I love it when I can laugh at my students' expense. One of my 7th graders--a tall, overly-developed boy who thinks he's the coolest kid around (most of the 6th graders probably agree with him)--suddenly asked, "What date is it today?" I told him it was the fourteenth, and he smacked his hand into his forehead and said, "Oh man! My eggnog went extinct today!"

Oh, Liz that is HILARIOUS! I do love laughing at kids myself - it's a good reminder of why I decided to become a teacher - because kids are so real and honest and don't care what anyone else thinks (at least 3rd graders don't!) One of my kids today says to me "You have lots of makeup on today" I've also been told that my teeth are crooked and I have a big nose. I just love that they say what they think... Except when they talk incessantly like my 3rd grade classes do. But, then I get a hug and it's all better. So anyway - I hope your lips are doing better. Stay away from those crazy mangoes and enjoy Florida - it's snowing and windy here and I had recess duty. I'm going to buy some snow boots because my toes are cold... :)
i love it when the cool kids say stupid things and everyone realizes that they're human not some greek god or something. yep. makes me really happy deep inside. oh, also, have you read my additions to my blog recently? I finished up the story. just so you know. yep. ok. oh, and I think you and I need to collaborate on a Christmas present for Mom and Dad...do you want to trade names for christmas? I don't have much money...oh, and if your answer is no, I have a froogle account...but i'm not sure how you can access it...ok. nevermind. its freezing here, by the way, and it snowed last night. a lot.
liz, one of my classes, a bunch of obnoxioius (spelling anyone?) say random things as well, but half of them are in spanish and so i constantly think they are laughing at me. one student told me yesterday that she didn't like to be told to shut-up. i then told her that if she stopped talking i would stop telling her.
it is not as bad as all that though. i do have one class which is all boys and they hilarious. we had a floor hockey unit but it was during the rainy season - meaning we played in the rain every class period. i can't tell you how many times i almost wet my pants watching one of these boys slip and fall. later in the day they would come up to me and say "aye! miss my boxers are still wet!" ah, the joys of teaching.
