In Which Carmen Laughs Inappropriately

[xaara]

Things I Laughed at Today, Mostly Taken out of Context:

1. Mom's Question RE: Middle Schoolers: "Do kids you know just stick whatever they have on them into random holes and slots everywhere?"

2. Little Sister's Astute Observation: "Today we had a sub and his name was Mr. Kamara, and he was stoned."

3. Little Brother's Insightful Analysis of Thoreau: "He wrote in quotes."

4. Just When I Think I've made All the Bad Analogies Possible:

Me: Is this life? Or is this just high school?
Me: This'd better just be high school.
Friend: well
Friend: there are probably smidgeons of reality in what we go through
Me: I suppose. Though my days take on this surreal sheen sometimes. Like French films without all the sex and drugs and alcohol.

5. Why Boys Should Never be Allowed to Take Video Class: "We were doing this scene where I was supposed to defend my coat rack girlfriend against D by fighting him with a broomstick, and then something happened, and the coat rack sort of hit me, which is why I have this huge gash on my forehead. Do you have any painkillers?"

Hey, I said half stoned, not completely stoned. Although about halfway through class I wondered if he was going to make it...:)

You definitely said stoned. And I've had teachers like that--I'm sure you've heard the stories. ;)
