“Did Ms. ____ just say that?!”
Quick story:
To begin our read-aloud during third period today, I attempted to say, “Let’s start at (some word beginning with an ‘F’ — I forget what it was).” Instead I accidentally said, “Let’s fart.”
Whoops. Oh, my goodness. In case you were wondering, this is maybe the most hilarious thing you can possibly say to a roomful of high schoolers. I’m still laughing, just thinking about it. Thank heavens my students are generally on my side at this point.
In other news, the book I Read It, But I Don’t Get It may very well be revolutionizing my world. Many thanks to Ms. M for introducing me to it.

Hahahaha!
A few more words and it could have become a spoonerism (a tip of the slung, so to speak!)
Sometimes the most unexpected thing bonds people together.

I laughed out loud when I read this. I think this is either evidence of my immaturity, or that “let’s fart” is one of the most hilarious things you can say to ANY age group, adults included.
