Whilst teaching Language Arts and doing a dictation exercise, where they have to write a series of sentences given to them orally. (Reminder: My kids have learning disabilities and are below grade level in reading…)
Me: “Robert needed to have his deck scrubbed before the event.”
D’Avonte: (snort)
Me: “What is your problem?”
D’Avonte: (laughing)
Me: “His DECK…he needed his DECK scrubbed.”
Fisticuffs and Shenanigans 
hahahahahaha!!!! I love your adventures with your class!! What beautiful (if not sometimes frustrating) people you have there ^.^
Beautifully frustrating might be the best description ever. 🙂
LOL Ahhh…. D’Avonte!
Our Nursing Director had a kid tell her that his mom took a picture of his rash & sexted it to his mom and she laughed so hard the other nurse had to walk out of the room. I love this job SO MUCH! 😀
Oh. My. God.
I get some good ones because we have a high ELD population. Sounding out English words with a Spanish accent sometimes produces interesting results.
We get the same in Arizona. Lol. I’ve had to have a kid clarify, more than once, to make sure I was hearing things right. 🙂
His nasty, nasty deck… Miss D for the win!
It’s good to hear from you again.
I’ve been terrible. I’ll try and be better. 😦
At Burning Man once, I was camped next to a group of Gay Mormons from Salt Lake City, which was interesting in itself. One of the guys told me going on Mission was a great way to meet men, but that isn’t the story. They had a “deck” washing tent out in front of the camp and were offering their services for free. And, no, I did not take advantage of the offer. –Curt
Is that like washing the feet of the poor?
Pretty much so… 🙂 Not sure the motivation is the same. Guess it depends on the sensitivity of your feet. –Curt
Organism also gets them every time. Every. Single. Time.
Although I’m teaching fifth graders this year…they’ll laugh equally at the answer being “69” as they will when their name appears in a word problem. It’s a weird age.
Today, I lost my shit when someone said “dictator” in a department meeting. I’m clearly not better.
Aren’t students wonderful? One of my nursing students wrote about “harmful micro-orgasms” in a Microbiology test. I was glad I was alone so I could give vent to a hearty guffaw.
God, someone needs to call her sexual partner and give that person some tips! lol
Oh Meggy… you and your kids do make me smile. Keep it coming, dude.
I just like that you call me “dude”. *tear*
You are totally a dude. I mean, not a guy, but a dude.
And as we all know…the dude abides.
When I was a teenager I washes my deck so much that I scraped off the paint.
I’m sure you applied plenty of varnish.
Mmmmmm
Wait…!!!
You mean you can build those things?!?
If you can…no need to ever shave your legs again.
Hehehe. My mind would have gone there too. 🙂
I’ve nominated you for a Liebster award (a bloggy “I like what you do” circle-thing). I just posted about it on my blog, and there’s some info there about how you can take part if you’re interested. If not, well, no worries – I still think your blog’s really cool 🙂

1. Thank you for being equally dirty-minded. 2. THANK YOU!!!
There was a thing going around the innerwebz a while back about an Australian guy and building decks. Thing is, with the Aussie accent, he pronounced “deck” exactly like “dick” and the way they put together the (I assumed parody) ad, it was hilarious. If I find any gumption, I might go look it up. Don’t hold your breath.
