Today a student asked me, “Ms. Sterling, do you wanna hear a joke?”
“Sure…”
“What did the elephant say to the naked man?”
“Uhh, I have no idea. What did he say?”
“How do you suck water through something so little?”
I crack up, then feel a little uncertain if I should laugh so hard at the mildly inappropriate joke this 14 year old boy has just told me.
Dan boasts, “I made it up myself!”
“You did?” I say, slightly impressed.
“Yeah, I was in the shower, and I just thought of it.”
Suddenly, I flash on this disturbing, cringe-worthy image of my student peering down at himself in the shower. Luckily, the period is over, and I can walk quickly away.
