A third-grade girl, out of the blue: “I HATE MY PANTS!!!”

*****

Me, to a group of sixth-grade boys:  “Gentlemen, you all look quite dashing today.”

One of the boys, to me:  “Thanks, Miss Hennessey.  So do you!”

Fifth-grade girl:  “My goldfish died last night, so my mom said I’ll be getting a teacup Yorkie to replace it.”

Third-grade girl:  “Miss Hennessey, are you past college?”

Me:  “Yes.  Why?”

Girl:  “I could tell.  You’ve obviously had a lot of practice drawing Snoopy.”

Question:  What is a frenemy?  (Answer:  An enemy who acts like a friend to gain an advantage.)

• shriveled
• small
• yellowish
• nasty tasting
• un popular
• make people sad
• not filling
