looking forward to the past

So, when i was in korea i kept two blogs.  One was essentially the same as this and the other was a list blog. i really liked writing it (because i'm a natural/compulsive list maker) and i plan on reviving it when i get there/have less moving and packing and working in my life.  Today i was reading it for the first time in over a year and came across an entry that i find really funny and a good reminder of what i'm getting back into.
(fyi - my students ranged in age from 5 to 17. and some of these things were said sarcastically. some of them)

Things i’ve said this week [it was a rough week]

  1. please, for the last time, take your hands out of your pants
  2. well i hope your grandpa has a great birthday next week
  3. you can only tickle yourselves
  4. no dogs allowed in my class, stop barking
  5. i’m not white? what color am i? oh yes, i guess i am a little pink.
  6. why are you acting like a monkey too, you should be making fun of  him for being weird
  7. stop touching each other under the desks
  8. do you not think i am a person
  9. i was a bad student too, i know this game and i’m gonna win, i promise.
  10. do you honestly think you’re smarter than me?
  11. you’re an only child aren’t you
  12. can you not say ‘teacher’ for three minutes? seriously, if you can all be silent for three minutes i won’t make you write an in class essay today
  13. can you stop touching me please
  14. no i will not buy you pizza
