Welcome to my world- I teach middle school. Ages 13-15.
me- "Gum in garbage please."
him- chomp, chomp, chomp "What gum?"
me- "The gum you are chewing."
him- chomp, chomp "I dont' have gum."
me- "Spit out the *&%$#@#$%&**(&*** gum before I remove your #$$%&&*** spleen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ok, I didn't really say that. I took a deep breath and stuck the trash can in his face.
My husband wonders why I twitch.
BingBong- and all the rest of you wonderful FA's: I sincerely do try to civilize them in the 182 days they have with me. It is too bad you can't wave detention passes in front of them.
