Alex: How old do you have to be to retire?
Me: Um, usually 65.
(long pause...)
Alex: How old is Mrs. Tartaglini?
ouch.....!
This one was more a quote on my part but the kids loved it.
Me: So when you're powerful enough to take over an entire country, you get to decide what religion they are. So the Chinese came into Korea and spread Buddhism through the power they had.
Brayhan: Miss Yadlin, do you like power?
Me: Brayhan, who doesn't?
Brayhan: I don't like it when people who don't have a lot of power think that they really do have a lot of power.
Me: Well listen, Brayhan. I don't care how much power you think I have. All I'm going to remind is that I'm still in charge of the gradebook.
Class: Oooohhh (softly)
Me: Oh, and would you like some ice with that burn (said of course with a grin).
Class: Ohhh! Brayhan, she told you!
And this one came today while discussing the accidental invention of tea.
Benny: So tea was actualy an accident.
Me: Yes, Benny. A lot of what is invented comes because of an accident.
David: So does that mean I'm an accident?
