Deep Dialogue

SCHOOL
UnMighty: If you had to pick a leader based on one quality, what would it be?
Student: Someone with a state of mind.
UnMighty: Which state of mind?
Student: What do you mean?
...
UnMighty: Tell us about your book.
Student 1: The book I read was called “Code Talkers” and it was about an Indian guy who served in World War 2 because America wanted him to use his language like a code that the Japanese couldn’t understand.
Student 2: What tribe were they from?
Student 1: I don’t know. Native American?
...
UnMighty: If you could do anything without failing, what would you do?
Student: Rid my rats of mites.

HOME
Wife: What are you writing about?
UnMighty: Twinkies.
Wife: (gasp) Are you writing about me?
UnMighty: Yes. It’s about how your body is starting to take on the shape of your favorite foods.
Wife: You are such an #*@#%&@.
(She sees that I’ve just typed this conversation.)
Wife: (gasp) Don’t you dare write that I just said that!
...
(Just left the grocery store with 3-year-old daughter)
Maggie: Gimme my donut. I want to eat my donut right now.
UnMighty: I'll give you your donut if you get in your car seat and act like a sweet girl. Can you be a sweet girl?
Maggie: That's me. Bing!

Funny. Sounds like wife is sassy! We love that.

At least you didn't expose your whole class to porn. That might give your students something to talk about.

I frequently threaten my husband with blogging(see post)

but the funniest is when he says something he thinks is funny and then asks me, "why aren't you writing that down?"

I only write nice things about my hubby, because, unfortunately, he is one of the only people that reads my blog...

And yes, you guessed it. He is the sensitive type.

I'm still laughing at your students' responses. Yes, these are the same people that will be taking care of us someday & running the country. SCARY! Don't you love teaching? It's never a dull moment! (I think I commented on your blog once before, but teaching has killed some of my memory skills!)

LOVE your wife's dialogue!

If I could do anything without failing I'd probably want to rid my rats of mites as well.
