TS, you're an honest student and the first to turn in your exam. All the other students are hissing, jealous that you finished so quickly. I've gotta get them to stop trying to eye your answers. Stay tuned for the results.

Thank you for finishing so quickly. Let's keep quiet so the slow-pokes, I mean, your peers can finish up.
ReplyDeleteLittle Seductress, I love you too, sweetie. Thanks for the apple. Next time, bring chocolate. Run along now!
Sarah, he ate more than his share, with the help of his parents and Auntie Robyn. That was about 6 months ago, and he hasn't slept since.
Life, pens are not okay until 4th grade, when you learn cursive. Sorry. You'll have to take the make-up exam.
Rachel, I'm so thrilled to see you in class today! Someone been's home schooling. Let's catch up during recess.
Copyboy, the early results indicate that I will definitely need to grade on a curve. I don't know yet what the winner will get, but it will be fabulous.
Blase, do I need to take you back into the coat room again for some special attention after school?
Kristy, you're in the honors' group, so you'll have to wait for the others to finish up. In fact, the short bus is pulling up now, so they'll just be getting started. Sorry. Be patient.
i flunk the test, and according to #2 i should stop eating chocolates!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I know any of the answers!
ReplyDeleteSarah and Ca88, let's turn those frowns upside down. Giving up is not an options nor is giving up chocolate. (PS I borrowed this test from the Advanced Choco-curricula. A little bit or tutoring, and you'll be there.)
ReplyDeleteThe answer to all of them is E)Montpelier.
ReplyDeleteI accidentally found your blog. Can't expound on dating or children... it wouldn't be prudent... but laughter and chocolate both rock.
BTW - I understand that Hersheyboarding is a new form of torture. For further info see Round Three HERE... better yet read the entire post. It's about kids... sort of.
Cute pictures. I'm just going to stare at that cake for a while.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
I would have included the question "Is it possible to emit a fart smelling of chocolate?" You should always include a simple Yes/No question to give the duffers a chance of getting one right.
ReplyDeleteGP, I must say, that's a question I never would have thought of. Is that a mating ritual amongst your species? I can imagine that might be effective (amongst your species).
ReplyDeleteCheers and bananas,
Robyn
