Funny things My Students Say: Middle School Edition


So every teacher has those moments where they realize who ever said there is no "stupid questions in life" was VERY WRONG:
Student: "Miss, is your hair naturally short?”
Me [pausing in my e-mail hoping that I did not just hear that question correctly]: “Excuse me hun, what’d you say?”
Student: “You know, some peoples hair is just naturally short or naturally long... you are just born that way.... so is yours just naturally short?”
Me: “Babies don’t come out with a lot of hair... your hair grows over time.”
Student: “No, miss some people are just born with a lot of hair...”
Me: “Go back to your desk, finish your work.... maybe you should ask your parents that when you get home.”
