Really?

Given the fact that Spring Break starts this Friday I knew this week would be...what's the word....interesting, to say the least. My kids seem to already be on vacation. Procedures are useless now.

I had a student waltz in and chat while proceeding to NOT follow directions. I took him aside and said, "Mr. ___, you know the rules. You have two choices, follow instructions and do your job or make like a tree."

The students pauses with a quizzical look and whispers softly, "Make like a tree, Make like a tree..." while counting on his fingers.

I accidentally let out a huge laugh and said, "What on earth are you counting for?"

He goes, "Oh, I just now got that joke."
