"I keep losing my pencils!"


I couldn't possibly seem to realize how one of my students never had a pencil when needed. Watching him always in the pursuit of looking for one, I began to wonder what had happened to those pencils. I was sure that before every week started, he had a fully stocked caddy with everything that he could possibly need. Yet week after week, we would stock him up from scratch. That is of course, until I helped him clean out his "Writer's Toolkit" today. "Oh, let me just help you organize your papers (turning it upside down)......oh my....(as about 30 pencils comes spewing out)....what do we have here?" We both look at each other in shock. And then we lost it. We both just sat there laughing and laughing...now disturbing the whole class. It was uncontrollable. Now everyone was dying of laughter. I guess at this time of the year, anything that used to be annoying is just plain funny. Interesting how bonding moments come about.
