While handing out mineral samples to my 3rd graders for our earth unit…
Student 1: “Oh, My, God! Are these diamonds!?”
Me: “Um, no…we don’t have the budget for that, and diamonds aren’t this big.”
Student 2: “Yeah, and if they WERE diamonds, Miss McMcerson would probably already be in her car.”
Me: “Would you miss me?”
Student 2: “Nah…you’d come back…and you’d probably have that pony you never shut up about.”
