Kids say the darndest things
On Friday, I had to warn my second class that I would be kicking them out of lab on time in order to catch a plane...
Student: Where're you going?
Me: To California for the weekend.
Student: Really? You're "going" to "California" for the "weekend?"
Me: Why does it sound like you're putting quotation marks around those words?
Student: Well, my sister and I have a running joke. It's a euphemism for getting a boob job. So if someone "goes to California for the weekend" it means she's getting a boob job.
Me: Uhm. What are you trying to say about me, exactly?
It was pretty funny, actually. I just hope they all behave when one of the tenured profs has to come and sit in on my class.
