Yesterday I was trying to motivate some students to finish an assignment and I told them,

“You know, the kids last period finished this in 10 minutes, so you guys should really get moving.”

One of my more vocal students replied, “Why are you always comparing us to that other period?” I apologized and thought about other ways I could motivate students. Then about a half hour later that same student jokingly slammed his assignment down in front of me and exclaimed, “Here’s my assignment! Tell third period they can stick this in their juice box and SUCK IT!”

It was hilarious! This kid had perfect comedic timing. Maybe he should think about a career in stand up comedy. But I still want him to turn in his assignments in the mean time.
