One Liners

Yep.

Today I was talking to my student Mario who is the cutest, sweetest little space cadet I've ever met. He's 8 years old and acts like he eats sugar sandwiches. He was off task today, singing the "Cut Your Nugget Out" song another student made up last week when I asked him, "Mario, what is your job right now?"

He responds passionately,"To shut up!"

"Okaaayyy," I say in semi-agreement,"What else is your job?"

Without pause, "To pull myself together!"

True. This is why I love kids. They shamelessly embody the nature of the open mic comedian:
When they crack you the fuck up, it's completely unintended.
