Dear Mrs Z

Every day my students ask, “Mrs. Z, why do you smile so much?”  And I answer, “Because I love my job.”  How can I not, when my kids amuse me so much?  This post is dedicated to some of the most entertaining, quotable moments of the year:

“Did you ever notice that bananas fit perfectly in your hand?  I think they should be called ‘hand-nanas.’”

“If humans had ever invented time machines, we’d already know about it by now.  Because someone would have traveled back in time to tell us about it.”

“…Do you mean the black snow?  Or the white snow?”

(Upon tapping a student on the shoulder to wake him up…) “Mrs Z, the (online grade website) MADE me fall asleep!” 

Mrs. Z: Taylor, you need to pay attention!
Taylor: But I can’t…                                                                                                                                                                                                           Mrs. Z: Why not?                                                                                                                                                                                                        Taylor: Because this class is too AWESOME!

(Upon running into one of my students in the hall, as she was on her cell phone): “Mrs. Z, I don’t think I can come to your class today because there is no reception in your room – and I’m trying to get Britney Spears tickets.”

“I’m not racist or nothin’ but I only like the white ones.” (Talking about eggs)

“I had such a hard time remembering my lines because I had to do it in a British accent!”

“Whoa… Mail Merge! That’s filthy!”  (Meaning, really cool).

Written on Resumes:

“I enjoy web design.  I want to make webs for the people.”

“Hobbies include… bat mittens.”

“Volunteer activities… I think I made a garden once.”
