A Real Live Conversation That I Had With One of My Students
So in class we were talking about the difference between living and non living things. I asked students to raise their hands if they could think of an example of a living thing.
We had the usual kitties and puppies and even a dolphin thrown in there.
Then, one of my 4th grade students who is literally one the most foul mouth kids I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with raised his hand.
Me: "Yes sir, what is your example of a living thing?"
Him: "Well, I was going to go with the African Wild Ass and the common cock"
Me: struggles to gain composure and not throw the whiteboard marker at him
Him: "What?? Those are living things!"
Me: "Absolutely! A donkey and a rooster are excellent examples of living things"
Him: *sits silently and fumes because he didn't get a reaction *
