Today, after school, I was holding a funnel. A small, innocent, funnel.
Student: Oh! Are we going binge drinking?
Me: What?
Student: With the funnel! Are we binge drinking?? [Grabs funnel, leans back and pretends to binge drink from the funnel] Isn’t that what you use these for?
Me: [Trying--and failing--not to laugh] Well, we were going to use it for a rain gague…
Student: And THEN go drinking??
Me: Uh…no.
Student: Oh, too bad. I thought you were a partier since you’re so relaxed all the time.
Now, one might expect such a conversation from a “bad” student. But this was a small, nerdy Asian kid–your stereotypical pre-AP student, with glasses and everything! NOT someone that I’d expect to ask me about boozing. I’m not even sure how he knows about binge drinking, but it’s definitely the funniest thing that’s happened all week.
