I could probably write a book on crazy things teenagers say, like when they hear a rumor that I'm dating a coach, they come to class and ask me, "Are your favorite sports to watch soccer and tennis?" But that's nothing to what happened today.
We had a fire drill, and after a few minutes of standing outside, a male teacher summons everyone back in, saying, "We've got work to do!" Then the best thing ever happens. One of my female students says...
"That Mr. ----------, he is one good looking man!"
Me: "What?"
Her: "Nothing"
I laugh.
She says, "I didn't think you were listening!"
I love my job.
Even on boring test days that result in hectic afternoons.
