I laughed so hard I cried...

Last Friday in my 2nd period class, I was helping a student finish an assignment. He was supposed to bring a small paper bag full of at least three items that described him. Surprisingly, he did NOT bring the required objects. (This is actually not a surprise at all - bless his heart.)
I told him we would just draw the objects he likes. I was helping him draw a few things because he is not the most...talented artist. (His hand writing is also very difficult to read.)

Anyway, after we had finished the project, he was just drawing on a piece of paper and all of a sudden, he showed me this picture and told me it was a cat:

I lost all control and started laughing uncontrollably. I laughed to the point of tears. Was I laughing at him? Not necessarily...but it might not have been the nicest thing to do. I just couldn't help myself! You may not think that the picture merits uncontrollable-laughing-so-hard-you-cry type of a reaction, but knowing the student, it makes sense.

Fortunately, I don't think I've scarred the student. He is now obsessed with drawing cats and wants to show me whenever he draws one!

Another funny moment happened this past Tuesday in my 7th period. While we were cleaning up, a students said,

"I'm wondering...if our brains exploded, would we still have to go to school? Because we wouldn't have a brain..."

So. Funny.

I love my students!
