cats

my class has an obsession with my age and my marital status. they frequently ask me things like, "why aren't you married?" "do you have a boyfriend?" and "when are you getting married?" however, lexi, who apparently sees my future taking a different course, asked, "are you going to be the old lady with all the cats?"

animals

during a class play, jonathan was playing the part of the woodcutter. the class had written their own scripts and that became obvious when jonathan stood up and announced, "i will trade you this money for food. i must feed my wife and my young."

happy

the art teacher was teaching the concept of using light to express moods in painting. she asked the class, "what would the artist paint to show sadness?" someone appropriately responded that the artist would use dark colors and have little light in the painting. very good. then she asked, "what would the artist paint to show happiness?" gabe's hand shot up and he answered, "a farmer."

yes, of course, the very epitome of happiness...a farmer.

clever

the task was to write a sentence using the word "stubborn." here is noah's sentence:

someday your gonna land on somthing as stubborn as you.
