Me: “Elvis, what kind of food are you making for your plate?”
Elvis: “It’s a mummy wrap with a mummy’s hand, grubs, and fingernail clippings.”
Ann: “Ms. Derouin!!! Did you know that there are invisible sharks swimming under that table over there?”
Me: “How did they get out here? I thought I left them in the back room.”
Darcy: “Are you sure you aren’t on Zoe 101?
Me: “What?”
Darcy: “You look like the girl who steals a lot on Zoe 101.”
Me: “Nope…I am sure.”
Me: “Haaken…what food did you draw on your plate?”
Haaken: “A dinosaur…no I mean a beaver…for supper and a dolphin for dessert.”
Me: “Yum?”
Kevin: “Ms. Derouin…Jack has something to say to you.”
Jack: “I am sorry. I will never do it again.” (Holds out a tiny stolen colored pencil.)
Me: “Oh well thank you for apologizing Jack. I bet some other students would be really sad if they didn’t have that purple colored pencil to use.”
Jack: “I thought it was blue. I took it because blue is my favorite color.”
Me: (Turned around to smile and laugh inside.)
Kevin: “Well it doesn’t matter what color it is…you still can’t steal from the art room.
Cruise: “Ahhh man…I accidentally drawed Chinese.”
Me: “You mean you accidentally drew Chinese letters instead of trees?”
Cruise: “Ugh…yeah.”
