Student: So you're getting paid to teach us, right?
Me: Yep. Student: So then we could just do nothing and you would still get paid, right? Me: ... Student: Can we just go home?
Me: No. you still have band. Student: But I die every 6th-hour [last hour of school]. Me: Well that *would* explain the smell. Student: I got a girlfriend.
*immediately fist-bumps me, with little participation on my end* Student: Do you have a girlfriend yet? Me: No. Student: Keep trying! You can do it! Student (in near-monotone): I'm happy. . . I'm happy. . . I'm happy. . . I'm happy. . .
Student (to another student; still near-monotone): Are you happy? *student plays middle C and E below that*
Student: That pitch is hideous. It sounded perfectly fine to me... *I play simple lip slurs*
Student [wide-eyed and gape-mouthed]: That was magical. . . *whispered* Magical. |
