"Suckish."--one of my 8th graders' responses to "How's it going?" He said it twice in one week.
"Oh! THAT'S your name!"--an 8th grader, during my 5th week with them.
"Taylor Lauter is my HUSBAND!"--a freshman girl who doesn't realize he probably doesn't play on her team.
"He wins for the best poo-colored paint!"--OK, fine. I said this one.
"So, just because I'm not Mrs. D., you're not going to listen to me?"--I said this one too, to my initially most-challenging student. And the kid's been manageable ever since.
"You're...22."--an 8th grader guessing my age when I told him I was old.
"Do you want to hear a really racist joke about Asians?"--also in the 8th grade class. I said no.
"All teachers are under arrest."--one of the seniors, who's a real Negative Nancy. I protested that technically I'm not a teacher, so I was free. He proceeded to give me evidence that I was a teacher: I was sitting in the teacher's chair and I order them around. I figured, he had a point.
