i have kids
the vast majority of whom are lovely. my school is quite ghetto, especially after having been in whiteytown USA (college station) for 5 years. (by 8:25 tuesday morning, i had already seen 3 pregnant girls.) but most of the kids seem to be excited about learning and really just looking for somebody who'll believe in them. there are too many hilarious quotes to remember every day. some examples: "man miss, now everytime i see a skirt i'm gonna think about writing an essay." "is your first name really miss, miss?" "we can't say stupid, retarded or shut up?? man, you can't say anything in this class."
they're a handful and a half. more stories and quotes to come. i'm tired.

What horrible thing did you do to them to make them think about essays every time they see a skirt?
Great to hear that you're enjoying yourself...I hope you can really make an impact on some of their lives.

i told my kids their essay's length needed to be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting.
other things i've said that made them laugh/uncomfortable:
"the bastardization of a language"
"uranus"
oh yes, high school kids.

one of my high school english teachers used to say it. it's stuck with me since then, so i figure it's a neat little phrase.
