HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE. I am evil. Yep, there is no getting around it. I teach high school students and most of the time I absolutely love, love, LOVE my career choice. However, sometimes (just every now and then) they can get to be....a bit....much. <sigh> On those days I find that I get closer to that white jacket than ever before. In order to keep myself from going, oh, I don't know, CRAZY! I will find humor in the oddest things. Today, for instance, I realized that when my students use certain slang phrases that annoy me I find a way to use that phrase back in an equally annoying way. For instance (student using slang phrase): Me to student: Oh my lord! That is absolutely horrible!!!!! Student: (grinning and nodding head in such a way that shows he/she approves) “I know, right!" And my new use of student slang (me using slang phrase) Student: "Miss Harris, I can't believe you gave me that detention! That sucks!!!" Me to student: (grinning and nodding head in such a way that shows I approve) “I know, right!" :D
Listening to: "She's a maniac" by Hall and Oats
AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI liked your post. Yes I love my job for the most part as well, and I too do things that only I find funny. I do find great pleasure in Making the kiddos embarrassed through my awkward dances or horrible antiquated use of slang terms. Terms such as... " I dig." Or "What up Holmes?" "I'm down with the 411..." the options are endless. Also I didn't know that was Hall & Oates
ReplyDeleteI forgot that thing four told me to leave this...
