some 9 year old boys know what's up.
student: my older brother told me that boys are defected because of our DNA. i asked mr. x to explain and he said we are all girls the first three months of our lives.
ms.e : so what do you think about that?
student: it means that girls are more superior to boys.
ms. e: did mr. x or your brother tell you that?
student: no i figured that part out on my own.

Student: Ms. E, how come girls say, 'talk to the hand' and then roll their head in a different direction?
Me: I don't know, b/c they're sassy?
