jail and holidays and anatomy lessons...

From history class the other day with the juniors:
Flava Flav: (to Ms Brett) They should make a movie about you being in jail. It would be the funniest movie EVER!
Box Cut Boy: Yeah that would be hilarious! You would just try and teach everybody!

and another one from the lovely Ms Brett...
11th grade girl: Ms Brett, you look skinny today.
Ms B: Thank you!
11th grade girl: This is an all black school. That was not a compliment.

This past week I had to give the 8th graders a crash course in human anatomy when I got the following questions:
"Miss Book, where's your independix? Isn't it down here?" (given, the area she was pointing to was pretty close to correct...)
"Isn't my pancreas above my tentsticles?"


And apparently I scared them the other day when I scolded them at the end of the period for not being on task:
8th grade boy: Miss Book, if I were your dog and you were angry at me, I would run away!


Also, there was a little holiday confusion recently amongst the juniors...
Flava Flav: Are Good Friday and Black Friday the same thing?
teacher: No, Good Friday is before Easter, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when everyone goes shopping.
Flava Flav: Why do they call it Black Friday? Is it because that's the only day black people can afford to buy anything?
