And it didn't stop there......

I laughed all morning about the previous post. Really. That poor girl was so traumatized by wearing two different shoes. Not a big deal, unless you are the 16 year old girl it's happening to.

My afternoon classes were no less entertaining:

A: Miss. Hey, Miss?

Really polite, huh? Not to mention this is during a quiz...

Me: Yes?

A: Are there really cannibals in the world?

Are you kidding me?!?! What does this have to do with the quiz?!?

Me: Well, A, I guess there are. I guess in some cultures....

Z: WHAT!? Did you really just ask that? (And so it begins....great...) Of course there are! Isn't that what they use in the desert?

Me: Uh, what did you just say?

Z: Isn't that what they ride in the desert?

I can't hold it in. Which, if you know my laugh, you know this disrupts the rest of the room.

Me: No, Z. That is a CAMEL, not a CANNIBAL.

Z: Oh. Yeah. I always get those two mixed up.

I am not seeing the correlation between a cannibal and a camel, but I don't go there.

D: Man, I'm so glad I didn't say anything! I thought you was talking about food!

Me: Food? Well, I guess we kind of were...

D: Yeah, cause I love Cannibals.

Okay, this is going nowhere fast. And these kids are seriously mixed up.

Me: D. What are you talking about?

D: You know...Mmm Mmm Good!

Stop. Right. There. He really said that. He meant Campbells soup!

Me: through tears that have come from laughing so hard D., that's CAMPBELLS, not CANNIBAL.

D: Oh. It is? Oh, well I thought that is what you were talking about.

And, for the rest of the class, they talked about the Cannibals soup flavors that they liked the most. I don't know that I ever got to clarify. I was laughing too hard. And they didn't have a clue!
