overheard, 8 a.m.

Sentence on worksheet:

12. I have two test.
(correct the error above)

Me to student: "You don't see the error?"

Her: "No"

Me: "I have one pencil. I have two what?"

Her: "Pencils"

Me: "That's right." I point to the word "test"

She pauses, then writes:

"I have two testes."

I roll my eyes and sigh.

I don't even see why you bother going to work sober.

Perhaps you could have substituted the word "ovary".

My pet peeve is "cent". I hate it when they say..."and 95 cent".

I correct cashiers who can't count with, If it's only one penny then it's "cent".

Anything over that amount is, "cents."

Except when referring to the illiterate rap star, "Fiddy Cent".

Then I smile and say, "I hope this clears things up...oh and have a blests day..."

I remember in high school this one fellow student was complaining because she was going to have 4 testes that day. I started laughing but no one else did and they looked at me like I was crazy. Even the teacher didn't laugh and oh, did I mention this was an English class?
