Me: "What is a quarter horse?"

Student A: "A horse that costs a quarter?"

Student B: "One of those horses that you put a quarter in and ride?"

My Inner Voice: "I didn't sign up for this."

A one-inch binder with ENGLESH across the front in fat red letters.

Student: "Mr. Wymer, your assigned seats are so confusing."

Me: A scrunched up face.

My Inner Voice: "What the hell is this kid talking about?"

Me: "You're five minutes late. Where were you?'

Student: "My locker was jammed."

Student Sitting Far Away: "You said that last week."

Me, while looking at Student Sitting Far Away: "You get extra credit."
