Sunday school, syphilis and sexiness...

We were talking about energy, work and power today in 8th grade science and I was trying to get them to think about how they use the words in everyday life and what they mean. And thus, I asked, "Who has the most power in the world today?" The answer, in my head, was Obama. The answer that at least three of them gave, in unison? "God!"

I'd like to reiterate: Science class is not Sunday school.
Though apparently they're learning something in religion...:-p

I always enjoy the one liners I get from Ms. Brett. The other day I got a text from her that said, "The following words just left my mouth during class with the juniors: 'Rosie the Riveter did not have syphilis!'"

I was walking around the circle of lab tables in class the other day, checking the juniors' homework. As I stopped to look at Light of my Life's homework, the girl next to him burped loudly. Still looking at the homework, I commented, "Well. THAT'S sexy..."
Light of my Life (hesitantly): Um, thank you?
Me: I'm talking about her burp, not your homework!
