1) Student is leaning his head back while sitting in his chair, arms flailing. He is making weird noises while sticking his tongue out. After starring for a moment, I ask, Are you okay?
Student: I'm catching the snow.
Me: Okay, you know that it's not snowing and that we're inside, right?
2) In the middle of me explaining something a student excited blurts out, Hey, today is the last day of February!
While I form a confused look, another student replies with, Today is JANUARY 28th!
Original student: Oh.... Head goes down.
We continue with class.
3) Again, while in the midst of class (apparently topics at hand are not interesting enough to capture full attention)....
Student: You should be a nun!
I just pause, trying to formulate a response as I consider what he could possibly be implying about me with this statement. Other students are apparently doing the same thing as I am as 26 faces turn to him with expectancy.
Student: She has silky hair....
That is not at all one of the many directions my mind had gone in those few seconds.

I just burst out laughing in my office. I don't know how you handle the excitement every day!!!
