The amount of completely bogus tall-tales I overhear from sixth graders is enormous.

6th grader: Miss, do you ever say to yourself, MAN! I miss second grade!

me: If you're finished, you can do extra credit, read, work on your poster. . .

6th grader: Can we bake children?

6th grader 1, putting away textbooks: There's secrets in here.

6th grader 2: Read 'em out, so we can expose them!
