A few weeks ago, Student lifted her backpack and rested it on my desk. The desk promptly tipped over from the weight and clattered to the floor. As I helped the Student pick up her things, I commented on how heavy the backpack looked.
Student [entering class this morning]: “Mister, do you remember my heavy backpack?”
Me: “Yes.”
Student: “It finally broke yesterday.”
Me [admiring the new backpack]: “This one doesn’t look much lighter. What happened to the old one?”
Student: “Oh, ha ha. When I tried to zip up the old one, the zipper just broke, and it couldn’t close.” (1/31/22)
