Affairs and BAMF

Monday's seem particularly crazy with my students.

One of them walks up to me today and asks to go to the bathroom. I tell him to give me his passport and I will sign it. I look at the passport, and instead of his name, he has written BAMF on it.

Now, if you know Dane Cook, you know what that means. If you don't, look it up. So, I have to go into my teacher voice and say, "You have 3 seconds to change this or we will have an issue." But inside, I was cracking up. "Miss L, you have to admit, that is funny." "Yes, I'm laughing on the inside, not on the outside."

But here's my favorite.
In pre-algebra class, I say:
"Guys, this is a working affair, not a talking affair."
I hear a squeaky voice say, "Miss L, what's an affair?"
And before I could answer, I hear someone else say, "Duh. Its like a carnival."

I laughed for a good 3 minutes.
