TEACHER: "You've only got three problems to finish. Come sit down, okay?"
STUDENT: "Miss Dooley? You know better than that!"
(After which he flopped onto the floor and refused to work.)

TEACHER: "Who can summarize what's happened in the novel so far?"
STUDENT: "Ooh! I can! He went to the thing and they said he -- he said he wanted to and they said he couldn't, and then, and then that one guy, he -- he flew back to the place and the one kid wanted taco chips and she got them at the store and he had wings."
(And, so help me, every other kid in the classroom understood what that meant.)

STUDENT WRITING: "I aet all the vechfebils."
(I was quite impressed by this try at "vegetables.")
------------------
And, my favorite:
STUDENT: "Miss Dooley, is it hard being real old?"

Man, who knew the taco chips would stand out?
Wait. Is that not how you spell vechfebils? Darn. I've been spelling it wrong all this time and I never knew it.
