feisty

ryan is one of the most soft spoken, kind hearted boys i've ever had in any of my classes. he's responsible and hard working and every teacher's dream. during writing one day, he and i were working on revisions to his time machine story. sierra was sitting nearby and was very excited about her story. so she turned around to me and said enthusiastically, "guess what my story's about!" before i could guess, little ryan piped up and casually said, "i don't know, but it's probably boring." we all started laughing, but i don't know who was more surprised: me, sierra, or ryan himself.

embarrassment

matthew is normally a shy and easily embarrassed boy, so when i saw him fidgeting in his seat i quietly asked him if he needed to use the bathroom. he didn't hear me so i repeated my question, "do you need to use the bathroom?" he heard me that time and, loud enough for the whole class to hear, said, "NO, MY UNDERWEAR IS BOTHERING ME." ...so much for being discreet.

party

noah invited the entire class to his birthday party. the day before the party he asked if he could make an important announcement about his party. thinking there'd been a time or location change i gave him the go ahead. he went to the front of the class and said, "if you're going to bring me a birthday present, don't give me anything power rangers. they're stupid and i hate them. thank you."
