Student 1 [bounding into my classroom with Student 2]: “Mister! Wait! [turns to Student 2] How did it go?
Student 2: “If you were walking in the forest…”
Student 1: “Oh yeah. Mister, if you were walking in the forest, what’s the first animal you’d see?
Unlike other blog entries, I have a request before you read the rest of this funny conversation with my students. What would have been YOUR answer to that question?
Me [thinking about the last animal I saw on a hike]: “I don’t know. A bird?”
Students 1 and 2 start laughing.
Me: “Wait! What’s going on?”
Student 2: “Supposedly the size of the animal you said is the size of the problems you are dealing with in life.”
Me: “So what animal did you say?”
Student 1: “A giraffe.” (1/13/22)
