what do you do when...

Think back to when you were in 7th grade. Imagine a quiet, shy and hardworking student who tends to go unnoticed...maybe that was you (not me!). Well, today in class that reserved little boy had to get up in front of the class, with the rest of his group, and do a small reenactment from last night's reading. Everything was going fine until the wee-one spoke up and confused his line. He proceeded to say - for all to hear -

"The apples on my chest...ah, my breast...ah..."

Silence from the young man and laughter from the entire class is what then followed.

You can't mention any sort of body part without getting a reaction from 7th graders! Unfortunately, for this little guy, he went ahead and spoke about one of the most forbidden body parts.

All in a day's work, I guess (and it's only third period).

P.S. I wish I could post a picture of student...it would make the story that much more enjoyable.

Hey Anne! Hey thanks for the comment on my blog. I can't believe I'm having another babe. Its crazy.

I had a funny moment like the apples on the chest comment when I was in 4th grade! The teacher asked us why some students don't get A's (probably to help the struggling ones figure out they needed to study). Well, I thought he said Aids, so I raised my hand proudly and responded "Because they don't have the virus." So I feel that kids pain. :)
