Quick story:
To begin our read-aloud during third period today, I attempted to say, “Let’s start at (some word beginning with an ‘F’ — I forget what it was).” Instead I accidentally said, “Let’s fart.”
Whoops. Oh, my goodness. In case you were wondering, this is maybe the most hilarious thing you can possibly say to a roomful of high schoolers. I’m still laughing, just thinking about it. Thank heavens my students are generally on my side at this point.
In other news, the book I Read It, But I Don’t Get It may very well be revolutionizing my world. Many thanks to Ms. M for introducing me to it.

Hahahaha!
A few more words and it could have become a spoonerism (a tip of the slung, so to speak!)
Sometimes the most unexpected thing bonds people together.
