Fourth period. I was called over because the girl had poked the boy with a pencil, so the boy had taken the pencil from the girl. The girl wanted her pencil back. The boy wanted the girl to stop pestering him.
I used to tell them to just date and get it over with, but since that statement usually gets protestations so loud that the entire class gets disrupted, I told the boy to give the girl her pencil back. While they pestered each other some more that period, they kept it quiet enough so that I didn't notice.
Then at the end of the period, they attracted my attention again. And here is the only reason I'm mentioning them. The boy said this:
"That is a girl-shaped chunk of evil."
Great line. Cutting and snarky. Bonus for it not being vulgar. I give it an A.
