Pagers

"Frau, what are pagers?"

This really happened in class this last week.

Espanol

Two female students speaking Spanish after class.

One boy as he packs up : "Stop speaking Spanish; this is German class!"

Me "They can speak whatever language they want. Leave them alone."

Then the two girls thanked me.

me "'Johnny', what's that your drawing?"

'Johnny' "It's for my sister. She's getting a tattoo."

me "Oh. How old is she?"

'Johnny' "She's 18."

me "Oh OK. What's her name?"

'Johnny' "Her name's Shaniqua."

me "Cool."

Female student (who's like 16)"My Dad told me I could get a tattoo but I didn't want one."

me "That's probably a good idea since your ability to make life-altering decisions isn't great at 16."

Female student "Yeah. And I'm going to college for dance and we're not allowed to have them."

I have lots of students with tattoos.
