Student 1: "Mister, did you ever do drugs?"
Me: "...Why would you ask me that?"
S1: "I just want to know what you were like when you were younger."
Me: "Finish your work then I'll answer that question."
[few minutes later]
S1: "I finished. What's the answer?"
Me: "No."
S1: "Aw. That's no fun. What was high school like when you were a student?"
Me: "All the textbooks were in black & white because color hadn't been invented yet."
S1: "Really! See? That's the kind of detail we would like to know about our teacher."
Me: "We used to write with a feather because we didn't have pens."
S1: "Wow. No wonder you keep all the pencils students leave behind, even the ones with no erasers."
Me: "History class was really short because there wasn't much that had happened yet."
S1 [to other students]: "Wait, why are you laughing? Did I miss something?"
Me: "We could walk to Europe because there was only one continent."
Student 2 [with a wink]: "Did you see any dinosaurs?"
S1: "What!? Oh! Wait! Mister, were you kidding this whole time?" (3/29/17)
