Weird conversations!

Conversation 1: In a music room with a bunch of Orff instruments, tubanos and gathering drums set up in a grid for some reason on the topic of dinosarus.

Student: Miss. B! We're talking alot about dinosaurs in Music Class...

Me: Yeah, sorry...we got off on a odd track. Y'all ready to Mallet Madness!?!

Class: YESS!!!

Different Student: Miss. B! Do you know how the dinosaurs died?

Me (This oughta be good): How?

Student: So there was this big flood and it wiped out all the dinosaurs and the bad people because they weren't allowed on Noah's Ark. Only certian animals and Noah's Family were allowed and the dinosaurs and sinners weren't.

Me pursing my lips trying not to roll my eyes: Alrighty then! Lets start Mallet Madness!

Conversation 2: In a noisy music room while students were getting settled at the beginning of class.

Girl Student with pretty blue hair: Miss. B, I need to sit in the front today. I have lost my glasses!

Me: Oh my, Do you have an idea where they may be? Like at home or some place here at school?

Girl: They're at home, I know they are. You see my family practices a form of Witchcraft and my mom is pretty sure that the faries took them!

Me wondering if I had heard her correctly: Oh Ok! Will you be able to get them back?

Girl: Yeah...we just have to gift the faries with something shiny!

Me without missing a beat: Well alright then I hope y'all are successful...do you want to just be at this front station today?

Girl: Yeah! Thanks!

Me thinking: Did I just hear her correctly? Well, I have to accommodate all religions...so alright ...whatever...not my business...

------------

Noah's Ark, Dinosarus, Witchcraft, Faires all within 48 hours....teaching is never dull...

Odd Conversation #4

Me: *looking very close at the letters"

Me: "YOU'RE BISEXUAL"

Sister 1: "There were only four letters HOE HOW DID YOU GUESS"

Sister 2: "Wait was was the answer I wasn't paying attention"

Sister 1: "Nope you have to guess."

Sister 2: "ah fuck me"

*They continue to play until she catches on

Sister 2: "BITCH HOW DID YOU KNOW"

Me: "I think she would know if she had the hots for chicks"

Sister 2: "oh shit she meant her"

Had one of those frustrating conversations today where it feels like you are fighting with the other person even though you both agree. But our reactions are diametrically opposed, ratcheting up the tension.

Me: I want to share my experience with X because it happens to everyone.

Them: Everyone experiences X.

Me: Yes.

Them: No, you don’t get it. X happens to everyone.

Me: Yes, I know. Isn’t that great?

Them: … It happens to everyone. We all experience this.

Me: Yes!

Them: It does not make you special.

Me: I know. I had a normal thing happen to me.

Them: …

Me (thinking of saying: If we both agree that X happens to everyone, why are we fighting?): …

At this point, both parties are seething in disagreement. We are speaking at each other instead of with each other. It’s no longer about X. The conversation has turned into “why doesn’t the other person understand what I mean? They just don’t get it.”

I never know how to end these types of emotionally charged interactions. Or how to defuse the tension.

Gah

Last week I was chillin on campus after my JPN I class and I had some random kid walk up and tell me how amazing it was that I was wearing a BnHA shirt. Which is like, cool, I get excited when I see fellow fans of things I like too. But the way he said it implied that I was like, brave to be wearing it, in Public, to class. So I said, "dude... Just, like what you like and don't care what anyone else thinks..." And he replied, completely seriously, with "wow... You're so valid..." And then went on to say "see you around" and walked away. It was weird and I was very confused.

My best guess is that he's fresh out of High School and not used to everyone around him just, not caring what other people do? Cause he looked like, super shook. I mean, I've been out of HS for a while now, but I can't really imagine kids these days shaming others that badly about watching anime?? And my shirt wasn't even that out there, it was just a few of the main kids standing in a group? Plus BnHA seems to be super popular right now? Idk I just felt like I was in a parallel universe or something. Unless he was indirectly trying to anime-shame me? Which is a hilarious concept and pretty unlikely. Anyway that way weird.

Well that was odd

Me having got of bus with bags of shopping.

Two teenage girls hurry over to me and ask “can you do the walk?”

Me utterly baffled “walk? What walk?”

“The Walk” they repeat at me.

Me still very confused. “I don’t know what you mean.”

Teenager girl 1 to teenage girl 2 “she doesn’t know”. Then to me “sorry, mistake” and then they run off.

Has anyone any possible idea what they are on about?
