A few quotations from my students...

"Can I eat cheetos during healthy snack time?" -Na Quay
"No. You already asked me that question and I said no." -me
"No, before I asked if I could eat spicy cheetos. They are different. Spicy cheetos are spicy. (sticks out tongue and squirms it around to illustrate spicy)" -Na Quay
"No. You cannot eat cheetos of any kind during healthy snack time." -me

"Ms. Burns, is that your boyfriend?" a student, about a picture of me and steve from graduation.

"Ms. Burns do I have a beautiful smile (GIANT toothy grin to illustrate)?" Na Quay
"Yes, you have a very nice smile. Now sit down and get to work." me

"Thank you, Na Quay. Let's keep it on topic." me
