Student: Ms. S, have you ever been to a punk concert?
Me: Actually, yeah.
Student: Wait, what?
Me: Yeah, I used to go to them all the time.
Student: Ahahahaha, yeah right, Ms. S.
Me: I used to be the one that would crowd surf over people.
Student: Wait, seriously? What bands did you go to?
Me: Well, my favorite was Blink 182. I went to Yellowcard, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World...
Student: Did you ever go see anyone that was actually, you know, FAMOUS?!
Me: Uh, all those bands were pretty successful and had radio play.
Student: But did you ever see (random rap artist) or (other random rap artist)?
Me: No.
Student: Wait, what is punk?
I feel old.

Me: The way you find out if the baby is probably going to have blue eyes or brown eyes?
Student: What about green eyes? Is that when you mix blue and brown?

Me: No, green eyes are just another color. I have green eyes.
Student: OH MY GOD, ARE YOU RELATED TO THE HULK?
A girl came back from spring break with a completely shaved head. It was quite a striking change--she used to have long blonde hair.
Student: Hey Mrs. S--look! *points at head*
Me: Wow! That's a bold move!
Student: Yeah, well, I have just always had long hair and I wanted something different.
Me: You're quite brave--I'm impressed. Didn't Natalie Portman do that?
Student: Well actually, it was a black barber.
