happy new year!

The interaction that prompted an impromptu anatomy lesson...
student 1: How many livers do we have?
student 2: Two, dummy!


I was multi-tasking today, trying to help proctor study hall in the library while also having four 8th graders retake a test across the hall. I collected all of the notebooks they could possibly cheat from and handed out tests, then ran across the hall to check on the library. Wannabe Gangsta came to get a test from me there (He had been getting something to write with. Who comes to make up a test without bringing something to write with???). I handed him the test and sent him back to the room, calling after him, "Don't cheat!"
He glanced over his shoulder and me and replied, "That's like God putting Adam and Eve in the garden and saying, 'don't eat this!'"
And thus, I spent the majority of my time sitting with them while they took the test...:-p


Light of My Life: Miss Book, I want to go to a prestigious college. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm a prestige whore.
Me: Oh, so is THAT why you go to this school?
(prestigious is pretty far down on the list of words that usually come to my mind...:-p)
