Funny Things They Say...

The first scenario...

King and Prince are two of my middle school kids (age 15) in my Advance 4 class (highest level I teach)...

I turn around to write something on the board and I turn back to see King running over to hit Prince...

Dalia Teacher: KING WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!
King: Teacher, he is fucking me!!! (while pointing at Prince)
Dalia Teacher: WHAT?!?!?! You can't say that!!!
King: But Teacher!!! He is fucking me four times!!!!!!!!!
Dalia Teacher: WHAT?!?!?!?!
King: Teacher he goes like this (holds up the middle finger)
Dalia Teacher: OOOOOHHHH ok I understand now. Sit down please, you can't say that in my class. Everyone put down your pencils we are going to have a lesson. First of all you can't say that in class, second its called "Giving the finger" OK?
Everyone: Yes Teacher.
Dalia Teacher: And Prince...don't give King the finger please!
Prince: Yes Teacher.

Needless to say I'm still laughing about this a month later...

The second scenario...

Middle school class again, (14 year olds) same level as above.

We were learning about different types of books: romance novels, mysteries, comic books, Self-help, Do it yourself and so on...

Dalia Teacher: Do it yourself books are books that help you do something. For example if I need to know how to fix the kitchen sink I would buy a plumbing book. Cookbooks are sort of do it yourself books. They show you how to make delicious meals. Do you understand?
Everyone: Yes Teacher.
Toby: Ummm Teacher...
Dalia Teacher: Yes Toby?
Toby: Teacher, romance novels are do it yourself, yes...

HAHAHAHAHAHA...this is a class full of 14 year old boys...they make me laugh EVERYDAY!
