huh?

no clue. sometimes my little darlings can act as if they have no clue.

today in class, i wrote some vocabulary words on the board that they had to write in their book. i walked around the class making sure everyone was on task when i came to one girl whose page was completely blank.

"um...what are you doing? why haven't you started writing down your vocabulary words?" i asked her.

"ohhhh." (pause) "wait." (even longer pause) "i'm supposed to be writing this down?" she replied.

but really, that's not so bad as the girl who asked me what to do. i told her that i had just given instructions when she answered with, "well i wasn't exactly paying attention."

and the gray hairs just keep multiplying.
