Things I've learned

1. Sometimes, if your cousin gets stabbed, the police will come. And instead of arresting the guy who stabbed him, they will grab your cousin "real rough" and throw him into the back of the police car. They will take him to the hospital, but he will die anyway.

2. When asked to describe the setting of a story, a student might infer that the story took place in the suburbs because "the kids needed lunch money." My students do not need lunch money, of course, because everyone in the city gets free lunch.

3. Warm weather makes me lazy. It makes my kids even lazier.
