At Least the Teacher Can Do It

It was a lively morning in the classroom, preparing to leave for a field trip to a park. Jeffrey's grandma, who works nearby, stopped by in the midst of the chaos. "Have a good day, everyone," she called from the doorway. After a pause in which she surveyed the excitement, she added, "And, um, help Ms. Djerf have a good day, too!"

"She will!" Jeffrey cheerfully replied.  "She always does!"

Grandma tried another tactic, every bit as subtle as the first. "You know what I mean," she chided, "like, behave nicely and pay attention."

"Oh, she ALWAYS pays attention!" Jeffrey reassured her. "I mean, she's not a kid. She's a grown up! It's EASY for her to pay attention!"

    I love reading your blog! Students are just quirky, aren't they? I think life must be very boring for those people who have the sad luck to be something else other than a teacher! Hope you have a wonderful summer!
