Pepto Bismol

Overheard in the hallway when the 6th graders were changing classes:

Friend: "C, you look like you are constipated." (Completely joking)
C: "Well that's what Pepto Bismol is for." (Totally serious)

The 80's

I was reading a story about a princess and she was riding in an Ox Cart. After looking at the picture, one of my students had a serious question to ask:

R: Does this take place in the 80's?


I forgot, we all rode around in Ox Carts in the 80's.

My Friend Hitler

After writing about "Call of Doode" (Call of Duty) in his Writer's Workshop, one of my students was curious about my personal opinion on someone:

A: Ms. W, do you like Hitler?
Ms. W: Well, I mean I didn't know him, but he was not a nice guy.
A: Oh okay, so no-right?

Yes, that would be a no.
