Today

I had a wacky "I'm definitely an elementary teacher" day today. My kids were wacky all day long, and I was wacky alongside them. Fortunately, I did manage to avoid the wacky "teacher sweater" genre, and I think I looked rather cute today. I did however witness the following conversation at lunch.


Girl: I can play every instrument in the world.
Boy: No you can't.
Girl: Yes I can. Just not well. :)
Boy: Can you play a tangerine?
Me: Whaaa???


Also, one of my students spent an hour arguing with me about various geometrical terms. I had no idea if she was right or not, so I sent her to the dictionary to look words up. She continued to argue with me about words within the definitions and ended up stretching math to over an hour and a half today. And she kept getting more and more mad that I was right and she was wrong ( and I did almost no debate with her). She ended up asking me " what do you know nothing about?" so I can win. I told her to go to college and major in Physics and then we'd talk. I'm evil.


Oooh, I was told by a father today that his son has a crush on me. Wink, wink.


And, I have one student who never sits down in his chair. I've been telling him that I am going to superglue him to his seat. Today, I said I needed to invest in Velcro and half my class burst out laughing. They're starting to get my sense of humor!

The End.
