Out of the mouths of... 9th graders! (a funny story or two)

MichelleL1118 · November 2010

I teach high school, and today my 9th grade class was working on a project in the library. Randomly, they asked if the baby is a boy or a girl, and when I said boy they all wanted to talk about names (this class has 14 girls & 2 boys in it). First funny: ALL of the girls think I need to name the baby after one of the boys in the class, who is a senior & taking the course as an elective, because they're all "in luv" with him. I just laughed.

A few minutes later, as I'm checking on some of the more, uh, immature girls, one of them looks at me and says, "Mrs. L, do you take baths or showers?" I just looked at her like this: Indifferent and she continued with "Because my mom said that when she was pregnant, she couldn't take baths because she couldn't get out of the bathtub by herself. So I just wondered if that's true, that it's hard to get out of the bathtub by yourself." I responded with "It's difficult to get up from ANYWHERE by myself at this point," while turning 12 shades of red.

Later, in a NPR funny, the same girl told me that Budapest must be the holiest city in Buddhism, because it was obviously named for Buddha.

At least the kids keep me entertained these days!

lol. Well I'm about to have to stop taking baths my self, because I've about fallen twice trying to get up out of the bath tub! (both times no one was at home to have helped me had I needed it! Kind of scared me!) Our shower had been messed up, so after that I had to have DH fix the shower ASAP!

Haha. My kindergarteners are really funny, too. One of them asked if the bay was warm and cozy inside me today. I said yes and he replied, "Yeah, because you're wearing a jacket."
