The Countdown Begins...

until the end of the school year.  I'm looking forward to being done with some of the stressors of work, but am so not looking forward to leaving the students and staff I have grown to love.  Some of the funny tidbits the students have given me recently:

J - "I have a spider bite on my thigh."
A - "You should probably go to the nurse and have it looked at."
J - "She's going to make me drop my pants!"
Me - "The nurse is not going to make you drop your pants.  And I never thought I would have to say those words out loud in a classroom!"

A - "You're moving to Wisconsin?  It's so you can get away from us Mexicans, isn't it?"

K - "Oooh!  You're moving to Wisconsin?  This means we can start dating because I'm going to be 18 soon!"

B - "Ms. Black.  I'm having issues with my girlfriend.  I keep trying to work things out, but she won't talk to me."
Me - "Just back off for a little while and give her some space to figure out what she needs to do.  You just hang out with your friends and lay low for a while."
B - "Wow!  You'd be such a good girlfriend."

K - "You know how you feel like you're having a heart attack and then you just realize you need to fart?  That's when farting feels really good."

Me - "If I were to look at your old iPod, would I just find a bunch of tagging all over it?"
B - "If you were to look at my old iPod, the only thing you would find on it is a bunch of Elton John."

Spring Fever

These students must have Spring fever because they are definitely saying some crazy things!

- "I don't know the U.S. states.  The only ones I know are California and Mexico." - A

- "Your sisters live in Wisconsin?  Is Wisconsin amish?" - G

- "Oh man, mosh pits can get so bad.  Like, people beat each other up and break their arms and stuff." - K
  "But are they at least friendly when they do it?" - G

- "Will you come see me after I graduate, when I'm in jail?" - J

- "I'm growing my hair out.  I'm seriously thinking about doing a comb-over." - B

- Students had to create a book for a project using construction paper.  D made his book, but, after filling in his pages, he realized he had stapled one extra page in the book.  To fill it, he simply wrote, "My" on one side and "Bad" on the other.
