After school, I'm in my room grading papers. Kids in various sports stream in and out so I can sign slips saying they aren't failing my class.
William walks in.
"Daaaaaamn, Miss J. Why's it so hot in here?"
I don't even look up from my papers. Before I can think, I hear my voice, matter-of-factly say:
"Clearly.... because I'm in here."
A pause, and a trickle of laughter erupts from William's lips. Two seconds later, Edgar walks in.
"Why's it so hot in here?"
Again, I cannot resist. The monotonic drone repeats.
"Obviously.... because I'm in here."
I look at William, and before Edgar can even react, we both explode with laughter.
Edgar laughs and shakes his head. Both boys leave, I go back to my papers, little smirk on my face, hoping another kid will come in and ask the same stupid question.
This is just never going to get old.
