Overheard in the library #4

Teacher: "I see a lot of Fs in this class"

Student: "Why you puttin' us down?"

Teacher: "You don't do any work, what do you think you're gonna get? A magical grade?"

Student: "Yeah, I'm gonna get a rainbow"

P.S. The Con Artist is still mad.

Belated Overheard in the library #3

This happened at some point last week, when middle school students were working on their big, end-of-semester project on human body systems for Science.

Female Middle School Student #1: "Girls have testicles, too!"

Male Middle School Student: "No they don't!"

Female Middle School Student #2: "Yeah, they do!"

Me: "Uh, no, boys have testicles, girls have ovaries. They are both gonads, though...."

Seriously. You can't make this stuff up.
