so focused

in a lesson about fossil fuels and the environment, a hand raises...

kevin: "mr. wilborn, if a person passes gas in your face you'll die."
class: laughter
mr. wilborn: "sigh"
kevin: "no, really! i heard if someone farts in your face and you take it right in that you'll die."
class: more laughter
mr. wilborn: "alright class..."
tony (in all sincerity): "yeah, cmon ya'll stop laughin. this is serious...we're talking about death here!!"

and there i was, dooped into thinking that he was about to tell the class to pay attention to the lesson. thank you tony, for reminding me that 6th graders are 6th graders, and i should expect nothing more and nothing less.

epilouge: sadly enough, at tony's comment, the class actually quiets down in somber respect of the issue.

just another day.
