Hairlines and hair growth...

One of the 8th graders came in on crutches this morning.

me: Too Cool for School, what happened to you??
Flava Flav (helping TCfS with his books): He got a hairline fraction!



How to mess with a student:
Scenario: I am sitting in my room talking to Ms. Baldwin and Drama Queen comes rushing in.
DQ: Ms Book, I have a really good question for you! And it's a science question!
Me: Okay.
DQ: How come your eyebrows and eyelashes don't keep growing but your hair does??
Me: Wait. Yours don't keep growing?
DQ:
Ms. B: Yeah, white people have to cut theirs, you don't have to?
DQ: What? Really???

She eventually realized that we weren't serious and left satisfied by Ms. Baldwin's, "Isn't it neat that God made us like that?" so that I didn't have to launch into some scientific explanation that I don't think I could do justice to... :)
