Quotes From Yesterday... (or was it the-day-before-yesterday??)

The people around you can sometimes say very interesting things, if you pay enough attention:

Teresa T. (suffering from quite severe stomach crams): I feel so pregnant right now. I shall never mock pregnant women again. I am so pregnant. (each sentence was said at different times, and referred, I conclude, to the labour-like pains in her abdominal region - this sounds so professional, doesn't it?).

Phoebe (saw a paper stuck under the row of windows in a classroom): That paper says, "Do not throw the windows". (Phoebe proceeds to laugh herself silly.... she later found out it said 'touch' and not 'throw')

Scott (coming into class ahead of our substitute teacher): Guess who sit in us? (she meant: Guess who is coming as substitute to Mrs. Wong (who was absent at the time). Teresa C., Phoebe, and I, laughed hard at this, and then sobered up and said, "Jesus." and "God." among other good, and possible answers to the question. If God lives in us, He must sit down once in awhile, right?)

Madam Lee (coming in after Scott, being the one assaigned by the school to "sit in us"): This is four-es-one, right? (teresa C. immediately started laughing again. We, Phoebe and I, did not get the joke at first. When she repeated four-es-one to me, I thought, "Four As One". So?? It turns out, she was thinking "Four Ass 1". She patiently explained to us slow-on-the-uptakers, saying, "You know, ass, as in arse...Now we know what the teachers call us in the staffroom." Referring, of course, to the teachers' possible ill-feeling towards us, after that incidence when something, went wrong between us, or with the teachers. Something so big, and bad, yet mysterious enough for most of us members of the class to still wonder about what really happened. Then, Phoebe and I laughed, and Phoebe, my dearest Grasshopper and Catch-No-Ball, asked about 4Science2. So, I said, thinking that since we were already "four ass 1", they might be "four ass too".)

Madam Sally (quoting from someone or somewhere during english Class): There's a saying: Marriage starts when you sink into his arms, and ends with your arms in his sink.

And thus ends my report of this fateful day, when I learned that being alert in class sometimes pays off. XP
