conspiracy

while discussing barbarian tribes of the middle ages:

sebastian: so are the huns the most evil?

gad: no, the fbi is.

new

sara was changing her chair with the one at the empty desk next to her.

"sara, is there something wrong with your chair?" i asked her.

"no. but this one is fresher."

potato, potahto

etienne: my friend used to come here, but now he goes to prison school.

matteo (to me): he means juvy, right?

ceiling

while on our field trip to the planetarium, i watched connor wander around looking up at the black ceiling. not seeing what had his attention, i got closer until i overheard him muttering to himself, "that ceiling sure could use a little more pizzazz."

hobbies

docent from the art museum: look at the girl in this painting. what do you think her hobbies are?

tyler (very thoughtfully): i think she likes to do her homework. and probably turn it in on time.


(yeah, just like my hobbies are grading papers and nagging students to turn in their homework.)
