2/27/13 part two

Lately all I have been hearing are giggles as we are doing Math and Science, and this is why!
"Energy moves from one organism to the next in one direction in a food web." giggle, giggle, giggle
" A group of students are moving in one direction to get to their destination.  What is the probability that they will....." giggle, giggle, giggle

Thanks ONE DIRECTION for making my class more prone to laugh attacks from my students.

Today a student came and showed me something.
"Mrs. Overton, do you know what these are?" she asks
"Of course I do!" I replied
"They are called "tapes". They were used for music and recording stuff". she says
" I know them very well!  I used them all the time.  But why do you have them?" I asked
"I don't know. I think they are cool. I wish we could use them now." She replies and pulls out a 6 pack of tapes.
HOW OLD DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?!!!!

Yesterday was NATIONAL TORTELLINI DAY!
"What is tortellini?" students ask
"It is pasta that looks like a fortune cookie but it is filled with something. Most of the time it is filled with cheese." I reply
"Oh, I get it!" girl in my class says.  "You mean like lasagna!"
"Uhmmmm..... does lasagna look like a fortune cookie?" I ask
"No but it has cheese!" student replies.

Oh my!

"Mrs. Overton, remember how when I was in your 5th period I opened my paper too fast and ripped it?"
"Yes I do." I answered
"Remember how I asked you for a new one and you told me, "You don't need a new one, just get some tape"?
"Yes I do" I replied again.
"Those were good times!" Student replies and sighs.

Everyday I write on my board the National Day.  I had been busy all morning so I forgot to write the National Day for today.  As my third period walked in today the kids kept saying "Today is National Overton Day!"  "What are you talking about?" I asked them.  Then they kept talking about how or why it would be National Overton Day.  "Is it your birthday?" they asked.  "No,.. but everyday is National Overton Day in my house!"  I answered.
Then, I turn around to the board and see that someone changed yesterday's National Day with my last name. "Who changed the National day?!" I asked a little annoyed.  The whole class said the student's name outloud.  "Why did you do that?" I asked.  "Because I wanted today to be special for you!" he answered.
I just started laughing and the class laughed along with me.  How could you be mad at that?
