Real Life Conversations at Prep School

The scene: U.S. History class at the beginning of the period.

Me: "Hand in your homeworks. J, I forgot to give you the assignment; here it is, you can turn it in on Wednesday."

J: "Oh I just handed mine in."

Me: "Okay?"

J: "Yeah, over the weekend when everyone in the class was talking about the homework that was due, I just figured that you gave it to me and I must have forgotten and so I called E and he sent it to me on e-mail. But he added a name to the list - Curtis Jackson – and I couldn't find him in the book, so I tried Wikipedia."

Me: "And just who is Curtis Jackson?"

J: "50 Cent."

The class bursts into laughter. Yet another reason to love my job.
