See You in the Funny Papers

1. I had a student today ask me if my parents called me "Lock." I told him "No. They call me Ms. Lock"

2. When told to "Zip your lips!" before heading out into the hallway, one boy replied (with his hand appearing to be holding a zipper by his lips), "Oh, Ms. Lock. It's stuck. Ugh. My zipper, I can't get it. It's stuck! Oh there, I got it."

3. Me: What are you doing in the bathroom"
Student (same one who got his "zipper" stuck): I don't know
Me: No, what are you SUPPOSED to be doing in the bathroom?
Student: I don't know
Me: WHAT are YOU to be doing in the bathroom?
Student: I don't know
Me: Yes, you do.
Student: I don't
Me: What is a toilet for?
Student: I don't know. I just don't know.
Me: What do you DO when you go into the bathroom?
Student: I don't know.
Me: Then never plan on asking to go in there again. Go sit down.

4. One day last week in a completely random moment for some reason that I have yet to figure out, my entire class began singing the ABCs. I was standing there in the front waiting to say something and they just burst out into song. I probably laughed out loud a little but I couldn't stop them. I mean really. It was the ABCs!

5. The same student who asked me back in September why I was wearing "man" shoes asked me one day a week ago why I was wearing "man" pants! I was wearing JEANS! Good grief.
