Classic!

Picking up the kids from PE today, one girl complained that another had thrown a tissue at her while waiting in line. Once I got the students back to the classroom and tucked into choosing, I brought both girls over to talk it out. The exchange rapidly degenerated into a "Yes, you did!", "No, I didn't!" back and forth (which was actually hilarious in its own right).

And then the accused child looked plaintively up at me. "Well, Mr. Graham, at least there wasn't anything on it!"
"On what?" I replied glibly.
"On the tissue!" she said indignantly.
"Ha HA!" I exulted. "The tissue that you didn't throw? You're busted, child!"

The look on her face was phenomenal.


Speaking of hilarious looks, the look on a student's face just as they accidentally tip over in their chair (leaning too far back or sideways) is adorable. Clearly, they don't get hurt, but the transition from "I'm rebellious and leaning in my chair" to "OOOHHHH WHAAAGRLARBLE" *thud* is FANTASTIC.
