Homework = stupid (but necessary)

[rikibeth]

Charlotte has to answer the question "Who am I?" for history/philosophy class. we are resisting the impulse to have her write down only "24601."

She actually came up with a decent essay, but at the end, included both "24601" and "Spider- man."

With luck, this will entertain rather than annoy the teacher.

I'm...Jean Valjean!

She's known the show pretty much by heart since she was 3 - we had the 10th anniversary performance on video, and she loved it. we even took her to a performance when she was that young and she was enthralled for almost the entire show. (Took her outside when she got restless.)

So when she read her homework question out loud, I knew she'd get it if I shared the resulting earworm. And it cut off an attack of Emo.

It's one of my favorite shows. It even survived me being an usher for years at a first run theater. I have seen it many times sitting on the stairs ;)

I saw it in 1986 in London with pretty much all of the original cast except Patti Lupone, and I was 16, and I was completely pwned.

*grins* Too funny!

Kira had to answer a question of "If you could have lunch with anybody, alive or dead, who would it be and why?" We had some fun last night coming up with inappropriate answers ^_^

Given your household love of zombies, I shudder to think of the answers!

She picked Robert Baker ("Dinosaur Bob" Baker), a paleontologist and writer who she particularly admires ^_^

I think we were curious about the INAPPROPRIATE ones.

What she said!

Hahahaha! Oh Les Mis, how I love you.

Anyway. Also for submission, number 274306.

Oh, and, if she ever needs to know the meaning of life, it's 42.

I don't know, it might call for a snarky, post-mordern essey on idenity politics

As long as there's substance in the rest of the essay, the teacher should be amused rather than annoyed. I know I like it when my students include little funny bits into their assignments. : )

Did she claim to be Spiderman at any time? I almost did that myself for a communications assignment.

Oh, that's great. Just awesome!

She could say, "I'M THE EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED TEACHER AT SMS." That is so now our mantra around here.
