Student: My brain is full, so I need to delete some things from it. I think I'll delete all the pictures of walls. I have a lot of those.
A student saw me without a beard for the first time (after not shaving it off for 16 months).
Student: You look like you're in high school. Me: Yeah... *I accidentally forget a hair-tie*
Student (the following week): You have great long hair. You're like a rock star. Me: Try to not puff your cheeks when you play.
Student: But that's how they always play tuba in cartoons! And some people claim TV doesn't affect kids behavior. Student: I'm good at listening. But only when I want to be.
Me: So...you're basically like the Randy Moss of listening...? Student: Except I'm probably better. I later realized this student wasn't old enough to remember Moss as a Viking. Probably better that way... |
