Quote of the Day

I was handing out papers to my class and picked up the wrong amount so I was short and had to go back and get more. I told the 2 boys in the front to just pass everything back and I would come back with theirs. Now, you need to understand what kind of boys these are. Boy #1: Hispanic, Boy #2: Completely and utterly white.

So as I am telling them I don't have enough for them and before they hear I am going to get more Boy #1 spouts off with this:

"Its cause we're black huh?"

Ok, probably completely inappropriate. But, I laughed. I couldn't help it. These two boys are far far from black but yet this is the response I get? Where do these kids come up with this?

Comebacks

"Ms. Limb, you have the best comebacks"

Apparently I have a good comeback when students are giving me excuses and all that good stuff. I credit it to growing up in a 9 member family full of sarcastic people.

oh boy...

Today we are dealing with this:



go here to see

Intercom

"Joseph Smith please come to the office. Joseph Smith to the office."

I will never get used to hearing that called over the intercom.

Quote of the Day

As he is walking in to class past me almost every single day.

"Hi Ms. Limb"

"Hi ____"

"Ms. Limb you dropped your pocket" (in a calm very matter of fact way)

And then he just keeps walking. Some days he thinks he got me to look and oh boy does that crack him up.

Note of the day

A kid walked in tardy to 6th hour and handed me a note. Usually the note excuses their tardy. Today, this is what it said:

Ms. Limb

Joe (not really his name) was down in my office lying to me about homework.

Then there was the principals signature.

Haha.... oh man. I would have laughed if I wasn't so mad at the kid.

quotes of the day

From one of the biggest tough wrestlers in class the other day:

Him: Ms Limb, I didn't do my homework.

Me: Why not?

Him: Cause I had wrestling practice.

Me: You have wrestling everyday, that's not a good reason.

Him: Well, wrestling practice was so hard yesterday I cried so when I got home I didn't want to do it.

Me: I started laughing a little because I can't imagine him crying but then realized he wasn't laughing too... "Wait, are you seirous?"

Him: Yes, you don't even know.

Me: Ok...... uh..... bring it tomorrow.


I don't know why but the kids blunt honesty made my day.
