classroom chats

One of our vocab words is stifled.

I tell the class about stifling laughter, and how they've probably had to stifle a laugh when they knew it's an inappropriate time to disrupt class with a laugh. Then I ask what else can be stifled.

Girl on the left side of the room raises her hand, and shares the absolutely lovely reply, 'your creative spirit!'

Yes, I say.

Boy on right side of the room raises his hand and shares the absolutely honest reply, 'a fart!'

Yes, I say again. That is absolutely correct.

Oh, junior high, your highs and lows of maturity really never do cease to amaze me.
