The Things That Make Me Laugh

While teaching High school may be an emotional roller coaster, I do have to say they are great to talk to and definitely know how to make me laugh.  I love their uniqueness and gaining insight into their young minds.  Here's just a few of the things they do that make me laugh : )

1.)  My teacher- "Go shave." Student- "But miss it's almost the weekend!"

2.)  One morning I asked one of my students how he was doing today.  His response, "I've been better."  Curious as usual I asked what was going on.  He replies, "My mom made me take out my lip ring I just got yesterday."  Ha ha oh to be young again.

3.)  While sitting down working on some grading one of my students ask, "Miss, do you have a boyfriend."  

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Well, because I haven't found the right person yet."

"Well you can find one in Texas, there are a lot of guys in Houston."

"Ha ha I don't know about that."

"Well, my dad is single you could date him."

"Ha I don't think so."

"Why is it cause he's black?"

"Ha no its because it's your dad."

"But that would be sweet I could do nothing in class and I would still get an A!"

Bahahaha

4.)  So one day I was standing and talking to one of my students and I feel someone poke me in the arm.

I turn around to one of my students, "Why are you touching me?"

"Ha um just cause."

Another student, "Do it again."

He pokes my arm again.

"You are white."

"Not realizing that I was white I stop the class and yell, "Omg!  I am white! Did you all know that I was white!"

My teacher- "Oh my gosh really?!"

"Ya can you believe it?!"

The student just laughs and says, "No, that's not what I meant!"

5.)  One day I was helping one of my students with his project he looks at me and says, "Man you should work with little kids, your way to nice to be our teacher." 

Ha I didn't know how to take that.

6.)  As a teacher we have to dress up nicely, even though I am an art teacher and tend to make a mess and get messes on myself.  One day I was walking around and one of my students goes, "Dang miss you are dirty.  I can't stand being dirty."

Ha apparently they pay attention to if I am a clean person or not.

7.) "Miss, do you know what an Indian burn is?"

"No what is it?"

"What?!  You don't know what it is?!"

"Umm no, what is it?"

"You know like when you twist some one's arm with two hands like this?"

"Oh a snake bite!"

"What? that ain't no snake bite, its an Indian burn.  How is that a snake bite?!"

"Well that's what we call them back in Minnesota."

"Man you white people always go Americanize everything."

"Ha ha well if we didn't we would be called racist."

Bahahaha I love these kids!

8.) Some of my male students have a tendency to bring in brushes to brush their hair.  One of my students who has no hair at all, was brushing it.  

"Why are you brushing your head you have no hair?!"

"Yes I do miss, I'm trying to keep it down and nice and smooth.  Feel it, it is soooo soft!  You know you want to!"

9.) And the making up characters in my mind to motivate myself gets me every time : )!
