Johnny Washington or George Appleseed?

We were working on our apple week projects yesterday and a student was making Johnny Appleseed.

Student: I need to add a dad.
Me: I don't know much about Johnny Appleseed's dad.
Student: Yeah! Johnny cut down his dad's favorite apple tree!

Keep Your Fingers to Yourself

While teaching a lesson on leadership I asked for good qualities in a leader. I got "nice", "honest", "listener", etc. Then I asked what a good leader should do...

Student: Well all I know is a good leader shouldn't show his middle finger to anyone.

(did I mention that my AP was in the room, along with 2 parents!)

Who's in Charge?

While at a student's baseball game I overheard another kid (not my student) say...

"Can you believe that call? Do they really call themselves Empires?"

Probably not but they might refer to themselves as umpires every now and again.

Text Talk

(overheard)

Student 1: I'm BFWOG.
Student 2: What? What does that even mean?
Student 1: I'm Best Friends With an Old Guy (BFWOG)
Student 2: Oh.

Guess as long as the "old guy" isn't handing out candy or letting kids pet his new puppy it's all good. Or worse yet, I hope I'm not the "old guy"!
