This is when I love my kids......

Student N: "Mrs. Tull, why aren't you a supermodel? Is it because you aren't tall enough?"

LOVE LOVE LOVE this kid!

Reason for Absence

So the same student that was late to see a few weeks prior had another excuse....

Student T: "Mrs. Tull? The reason I wasn't at school on Wednesday and Thursday was because my house got flooded and my shoes were wet."

Not that funny, but really....Two days off for wet shoes? I wish I could use that excuse!

hitting a girl

Student A: "You can't hit a girl. It's against the law."

School Dance

Student G: "Mrs. Tull, you gonna shake your tail feathers at the school dance?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm also gonna Shake it Like a Polaroid Picture."

lips

During dismissal....

Student J: (he just put on chapstick) "Mrs. Tull, does it look like I have lip gloss on?"
Me: (about 10 feet away) "Not from here, it doesn't look like it."
Another student: "HAHA, Yes it does!!"
Me: "Well, ya know what? He's going to be happier because he won't have chapped lips!"
Another student: "Yeah, he'll have sexy lips!"

Can we talk in private?

Student T came in late to class....about 45 minutes late.

Student T: "Can I talk to you in private?"
Me: "Yes, of course, let's go over here..." (and I'm thinking it's something serious)
Student T: "The reason I came in late today, is because I couldn't find one of my shoes."
Me: (holding in laughter) "Okay, well, that's fine."
Student T: "I just wanted you to know."
Me: "Well thank you!"

Mysteries

The Assignment: Think of two stories that have the genre of 'Mystery' and compare and contrast them.

Student D: "Can we write about girls? They sure are a mystery to me! I mean, we gotta figure you all out and stuff!"
