So disclaimer: Some of these will be funnier to me because of the context but hopefully some of them will be enjoyable to the rest of you.
Jose, Denny, Ricardo, Andy, Joe
Me (observing that a kid sitting in his chair has his wallet hanging down onto the ground): Um Sean, your wallet is just hanging out there...
Sean: Yeah I know.... this thing (pointing to the metal ninja star looking thing on his wallet) is poking my butt.Me: Hm... thank you for sharing....
Julio (seeing if Linh has a paper since he has an extra): Excuse me, miss, do you have one?
--since when do eighth grader call each other miss or mister?
Jenny, Kendy, Irma
Seventh grader (coming through a mass of kids outside the door, looking like he's just made his way through the biggest crowd ever): Everybody's hugging everybody outside!
-AMEN seventh grader- what is it with middle schoolers and having to hug everybody in their five-foot radius! They aren't even real hugs! They barely touch!
Alex: Miss Yadlin, do vegetarians eat animal crackers?
Robert and Thomas
Thomas: Miss Yadlin, have you ever seen "Not Another Teen Movie"
Me: No, I don't think so. Why?"
Thomas: Cuz you look like the girl in that movie.
Me: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Denny (rolling up his sleeves to make his t-shirt sleeveless): Check out my guns!
Irma: Dude, Denny, you're so white!
Denny: Yeah, well, you should see my thighs!
Me: Please Denny, please don't.
Gabriel: Miss Yadlin, you're Jewish?
Me: Yes.
Gabriel: So does that mean you despise Hitler?
Me: Gabriel, I would hope that even if I were not Jewish I would despise Hitler.
Gaby, Gabriel, Melissa
Ricardo (after I confiscated, for the second time, his Magic Eye book from Melvin): Dammit Melvin!
Me: So what does pastoral mean?
Thomas: Well, pastoral is like a big meadow with flowers and little streams with deer jumping over it....
Me: Deer? When did deer get involved in this?
Man, I love these kids!
