bad llama

Today there were only two kids in my 6th grade math class. Two. What a cake walk. I had them finish a couple of worksheets while I tied up some loose ends. Thinking that I was oblivious to their existence, those two youngsters began to engage in one of the funniest conversations of all time. Luckily I had a piece of paper nearby to record the babes' gems:

"It makes me weep. Parting from kindergarten was such sweet sorrow."

"Those little kindergartners in there should enjoy life... while they can."

"We saw these llamas with really long necks... and they scared me. When I went to bed, I remembered them again. And I thought they were hiding in the closet."

"Oscar told us he was responsible for the tsunami. Because he burped."

I confess that a short burst of laughter exploded from my lips when I heard about the llamas in the closet. A totally legitimate fear. Just look at them.
