A student (who unfortunately has a school principal for a father) was acting up today in class...

Mrs. B: Wyatt, would you like me to call your dad and have him come on over and sit with you for a while in our class?

Kyle: (Wyatt's best friend) Oh, MAN! I wanna SEE THAT!!!!

Mrs. B: (talking to a student from another teacher's class) Ummm, Jeffrey, did you comb your hair today?

Jeffrey: Nah. I never comb my hair.

Mrs. B: Never? Why?

Jeffrey: 'Cuz I wanna look like Mr. L.

(Note: His teacher, Mr. L., does look disheveled much of the time.)

Overheard before morning bell...

Student #1: Alllllllriiiiight! A sub! You can get away with ANYTHING when you have a sub!

Mrs. B: (Walking by, without even looking up from my papers...) Don't even THINK about it!

Student #2: Oh, man! I didn't even see her comin'!
Random, secret drawing found stuffed behind the activity tubs...looks like someone is plotting their escape...

Mrs. B: Okay, let's review our reading selection for the week. Where do the penguins in our story live?

Class: Antarctica!

Cody: (with equal enthusiasm) And Madagascar!

Jayden: Dude, that's just a cartoon!
Nicholas: Do you know how to recognize a cursive B?

Mrs. B: Yes. Do you?

Nicholas: Yes, because it looks like this...YEEEEAAAAWWWWHHHHH! (freezes in strange karate pose, leg in the air.)
Mrs. B: (taking attendance) Cheyenne?

Wyatt: She's not here. She's moving.

Mrs. B: Really? Is that why she hasn't been here for two days?

Wyatt: Yeah, or maybe she has the swine flu.
