That is cute, it reminds me of one of those chain emails that someone sends around with the funny sayings that all the students say. I teach K-5 so you can imagine what all they do and say. One sticks in my mind and still happens ever so often. I took Kindergarten children into the lab and our first day was spent going over the parts of the computer. Everyone did great with the screen, keyboard, and even the CPU. When we got to the mouse I told everyone to put their hands on their mouse and every single child in the class put their hand over their mouth. I could not help but to laugh and as this was all happening the principal of the school was walking through. She too thought it was funny. I will never forget all those little kids doing that, it was a kodak moment.

A very wise man (Solomon) once said that a merry heart does good like a medicine. Here is some medicine.
I was preparing my 7th grade science students for their final exam. We were going over the topics from the year that would be on the exam. I had included one of the questions from a previous test that a lot of students had missed the first time hoping to reinforce the concept. The question asked, "Which of the following is not a form of precipitation?" The answer choices were: rain, snow, groundwater, and hail. Many students had incorrectly chosen hail. I thought that since these were Florida kids, maybe they didn't know what hail was, so I asked the class, "What is hail?" From the back of the classroom, a sweet girl from Georgia named Coco raised her hand. I said, "Okay, Coco. What is hail?" She replied in her beautiful Georgia drawl, "Why Miss Lawless, that's a place where bad people go!"
