Laughter on the Clock

During a student-judged round of Grammar Olympics: "Ms. H. (the student judge, called by her last name as I call them by too), come holla at us (reminiscent of the graffitti -- if you can call it that -- scrawled on the Bailey tennis courts, reading, "Holla atcha boi")!"

During analysis of a modern poem with the honors class, student JB says: "Ms. Nelson, is it OK if we do the suspended hand rule?" RW and I burst out laughing, becuase JB meant to say, as I always do, "we will suspend the raising hand rule for this activity."

Ahh, laughter on the job.
