Must Be The Moon

The kids are weird this week. It must be the moon phases changing because they are wearing me out. Or maybe it's the fact that I have late practices all week and I'm not getting home until 7! But that's neither here nor there...Three quick stories for ya:

1. Why do I have 14 yr olds in class that smoke??? And I'm not talking "my clothes smell like smoke because my parents smoke", I'm talking "I can't help you with your math problem because not only are your clothes reeking of smoke, but your breath is kickin'" kind of smoke. Granted neither my husband nor I smoke, but we have some friends that do (and we're talking pack-a-day smokers), and even those friends don't have breath like this. I almost gagged a little in my mouth. At least if you are going to smoke, have good hygiene for gosh sake!...** Oh no here she comes again!!!**

2. Boy #1: Ummmm Mrs. Cheese, I'm going to go ahead and turn in my homework but I'm just letting you know that there may or may not be inappropriate pictures drawn on my homework. I'm not really sure how they got there but I tried really hard to erase them
Mrs. Cheese: Ummmm ok, well if you hadn't told me I probably wouldn't have noticed.
Boy #1: Oh you'll notice...
Mrs. Cheese: Ok, well you do realize that now I'm going to look for it, it's like a car accident, you can't just pass by without looking
Boy #1: Ok that's fine, I just didn't want to be known as that kid from Superbad who draws penises all over his paper...
Mrs. Cheese: I don't think of you like that...but now I will

3. Class: Is it bad if you pop your fingers a lot?
Mrs. Cheese: Well, I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard that when you pop your fingers the sound you hear is fluid popping...and again, not sure if this it true, but I would assume that would cause more fluid to build up, sort of swelling your fingers...but I'm no science teacher, only a math teacher
Boy #2: So if I keep popping my fingers will they get longer???
Mrs. Cheese: Oh wow...
