bible folder?

i have a seriously cute boy in my class. i mean, he's really cute. he's smaller than most 3rd graders, has a high-pitched voice, and walks around with a grin on his face ALL THE TIME. he has a pretty impressive sense of humor for a 3rd grader. the problem is that he knows he's cute, and he knows how to get a laugh.

i put his desk in the front of the classroom so that i could keep an eye on him at all times. that plan has almost backfired though, because now i hear all his funny remarks that he makes under his breath. and let me tell you: he really is funny.

today i handed a science review to the class with these instructions: "today you will fill out this review. when you are finished, put it in your bible folder so that you will have it tomorrow because we will go over it as a class tomorrow. where do i want you to put your review?"

class: "bible folder."

me: "ok-do not forget. i want it in your bible folder. i'll even repeat myself because i know some of you aren't listening. when you are finished with your review, put it in your bible folder."

cute kid (with obvious sarcasm): "so...do you want it in our bible folder?"

oh.my.word.
