(class is silent)
(in the back I suddenly hear a humming... then) "A-we-mo-wep, A-we-mo-wep, A-we-mo-wep, A-we-mo-wep... In the jungle, the mighty jungle..."
(girl has her head under an over-turned chair)
different teacher: "What are you doing?"
girl: "it's like a tiny little hut!"
boy 1: "Wait, WEIRD stands for something?"
me: "In class, it does. It's We Enjoy Independent Reading Daily. I've been saying it for weeks now."
boy 1: "Oh... I thought you were just telling us to be weird."
boy 2: (leans over to me dramatically and whispers loudly) "It's too late for him."
"Mother Nature is on 'ROIDS!"
"Are dinosaurs considered mythical?"
boy 1 to boy 2: "I'm going to declare war on you if you don't help me!"
"When I get old, and my arms are all skin-flappy, I'm going to get the American flag tattooed on them so I can make the flag wave."
me: "Do you know the line the raven keeps repeating?"
(silence)
me: "It's 'never more.' It refers to this woman's death."
boy 1: "Like, 'never more LIFE'?
me: "Yeah, pretty much."
boy 1: "I'm DEEP, y'all."
