My sister was in English class today and her teacher, Mrs. Cummings, was telling the students about funny moments in her teaching career. One of them was when her class was having a debate. They were split into two sides and while she was talking to one side, her back was turned to the other. While her back was turned, she heard a loud THUD that sounded like a baseball bat hitting a desk and then cracking. She was afraid to turn around because she knew it would be bad. When she turned around, she found one of her students knocked out on the ground. It turns out he had been so nervous about answering the question that he had locked his knees, fallen forward, hit his head on the desk, and knocked himself out. She was frantically telling one of the students to call 911 and another to call the principal. She called the mom of the student and told her what happened. The mom was very understanding, but then she told Mrs. Cummings, "That's ironic. This is the second time this happened!"
One time Josh and Bailey White were fighting in the back of their car. Finally, their dad said, "All I want to hear is the sound of silence!" A few seconds later you hear Bailey in the back sing, "Hello darkness, my old friend."
My friend Marcea just got an itouch. it is like and ipod but you can put apps on it. It is pretty much an iphone without the phone. She has a bunch of funny pictures on it. Here are so
me of them:
A while ago, while I was in my sixth grade science class, we were working in groups on a model of the layers of the Earth my group had been talking when we ran out of things to talk about and got quite. A few seconds later a boy in my group named Sander Kusion said, "My parents were tempted to name me whoopy." We all started cracking up and could not stop until the end of class. If you don't get it then just look back at the name of the guy who said it.
This story is about the same boy, Sander, in the same class, science. My science teacher, Mr. Demers, was trying to get someone to say the word fissures, which was the answer to the question he was asking. He said, " Come on guys! What's the F word?" almost immediately Sander's hand shot up into the air. Mr. Demers then said, "Wait! Not that kind! But Sander, promise me that if you don't become a scientist when you grow up, then please be a comedian."
I was in a summer class for orchestra. We had class every Thursday, but we were going to have one week off. Our teacher, Mr. Benefield, made the first chair violinist say, "I have no class next week." Almost immediately, a girl named Alyssa Weyland started laughing. Mr. Benefield said, "Raise your hand if you get it." Most of the class raised their hands, but it took a while for some people to figure it out. Do YOU get it?
My cousins, Brooklynn and Kelsey (from an earlier post), were over at my house. My sister decided to play a few songs on the piano. The girls were making requests for songs like "Take me Out to the Ball Game" which they happily sang to. When it came time to make another request, Kelsey went over to my sister and asked her if she could play the song "Yippee Ki Yay Mini Sirloin Burgers". For those of you who don't know, this was a Jack in the Box commercial for mini burgers. It has mini cowboys riding mini horses and herding mini cows while singing about the new mini sirloin burgers. It was quite hilarious.
My dad was supposed to be taking pills to help him improve his memory. He was telling his friends about them, but when he was trying to tell them what they were called, he couldn't remember. (Can you see where this is going?) He asked my mom, who told him, and then he continued talking to his friends about them. After that, he said, "Yeah! They're great! The only problem is that I keep forgetting to take them."
It was my uncle's birthday, so we went over to his house to celebrate. We were opening presents and he got one from his mother in law. When he opened it, it turned out to be an air freshener spray called "After That". I always think it's times like that where you have to wonder whether to say thank you or be insulted.
Last night I was humming the presidential song. My mom said, "Did you know that was in a movie? The president wanted to know the words to it, but no one knew them. He decided that he was going to make some up. He finally decided that the words would be 'Hail to the Chief! I'm the chief and I need hailing.' " (OK. I know you are all humming this in your head know.) My sister and I were laughing very hard for a while after.
My sister's friend, Ryan, was over to hang out. He came into the house and walked past the picture of Jesus in our hallway, pointed to it, and said, "Look! It's John Smith!" My mom walked by and said, "Your close Ryan! That's Jesus."
