Student: Hey, Mrs. Gish! Remember when you taught us "Never Eat Soggy Wheaties" to help us remember the order of North, East, South, and West?Me: Yeah...
Student: I thought of another phrase you could use!
Me: Oh great! Let's hear it.
Student: Never Ever Smoke Weed
Me: ................ (trying to hide a laugh of shock and slight amusement of his obvious creativity and instead making a face that looks like who knows what...)
Student: What? Doesn't that work?
Me: Yes. Yes it does.
You have such adventures, thanks for posting :)
