Here are some things that I got a seriously delayed laugh out of. Why delayed? Because so much goes on during the day that my real reflection time often takes place between the hours of 2-3.30 A.M.
1. A concerned colleague came to me yesterday. One of my boys was uncharacteristically anxious and figity in her class. As part of my Q and A with her I asked; "Does he have a boner?" Her very serious response; "No."
(For those of you who don't know, or have not learned from a previous entry here, some of the boys get a little trippy when there is movement in their pants.)
2. While looking at the latest issue of Women's Health featuring Jillian Michaels on the cover, it was mentioned that she is supposedly a sister (as in likes girls). It seemed that most of us were on the same page with this discussion, until it was revealed that one member of the group was curious as to who in JM's bloodline was black, specifically 1/4 black. Our friend Steph, who is African American explained it. A little awkward, but more funny. So I wonder how many people thought my friend Lauren was looking for an African American sister as opposed to a lady sister this past Friday night while wearing her "Got a sister?" t-shirt.
3. While tutoring, one of my students was amazed by my shear ability to discuss and take copius notes for him about WW II. This is funny to me because earlier in the day he discovered I had a serious mental gap in my ability to help with contour maps. He totally called me out on it, yet I redeemed myself later on with my tales of my family's past during the war and my ability to really get him to understand the contour map. Who says kids are not easy to impress?
