: Every once and a while I think it would be cool to be a teacher and pit out trivia and movie quotes, but then I think, I gotta teach these goddamn kids! What state/grade was this student in?

: : So I was substitute teaching the other day and the kids are working and all is well when suddenly I hear, "it is you who are the ball lickers!" I sigh and smile a little (This IS a classroom guys. Totally inappropriate language use) and casually, without looking up, say, "Ok Jay of Jay and Silent Bob pipe down." The kid goes nuts! "Oh my God," he says. "I can't believe I've finally found a teacher who knows what I'm talking about! You are a Goddess!" (which I already knew, mind)He then starts to bow to me, both arms out, and say that he is SO going to switch into my class next year and that I am the one TRUE teacher. Oh course I tell him that I no longer work at the school but he says he doesn't care that I should return just so he can be my student. He stays after class and continues to talk to me and apparently traveled to Texas for the Comicon. I told him to tell you hello and he asked me to tell you Kevin that he is your No. 1 fan (of course, he forgot to tell me his name but oh well). I thought this entire thing was hilarious and my reputation as the "cool" teacher is now being reinforced despite the fact that I no longer work there as a full time teacher. I AM A GODDESS! Oh yeah! and NOT just because I know Kevin either. hehehe.
