Yep. I actually encouraged one of my classes to create these on Friday. It was either a stroke of genius or a horrible mistake. I'm going with genius. There really was a method to my madness, though. I had momentarily run out of good examples of hyperbole (an extreme exaggeration), and was searching for another example or two, when I realized that these obnoxious jokes are the epitome of hyperbole. Thankfully, I wasn't being observed, because I'm not quite sure how it would have looked on paper..."Teacher encouraged students to make fat jokes about other students' mothers." Hey, at least it was affective! I had to almost chase this kiddo out of my room. He didn't want to leave!
Some of the gems I heard were: "Yo mama's so fat that she fell on your TV and made it a flatscreen," and "Yo mama's so dumb, it took her 2 hours to watch 60 minutes." Precious, aren't they?
Obviously, many things have gone on at school since my last post, but I simply haven't had the time or motivation to post them. On Friday, several funny things happened, although this one was my favorite (Apologies for the repeat, Facebook friends.):
During my morning auditorium duty, I asked a little outgoing jock to move away from his friends because he kept hopping seats. When he was in his assigned seat, I playfully asked him if he was lonely. Without missing a beat, he started singing, "Nobody knoooowwwwsss the trouble I've seeeen!"
I only wish I was that witty!
