From the pencils of babes. Actually, the babes mostly forget their pencils and use mine.

It's the end of the first quarter, so I graded journals on Friday. The following are some excerpts that I thought you may enjoy.
On the topic "What are you looking forward to about being an adult?"
I will be a good driver. I will be a good parent. I will get a priecing on my bully bottom.
I can cleen my own room (Some parent is clearly doing it wrong.)
you could choose your male or female (Choose a male or female to date/marry? Choose to be male or female? I don't know and more importantly, I'm not asking)
And on the topic "What grade should you get in my class? Why?"
I should get 100. I am go at English.
Finally, I give you some inventive spelling. Extra points to the first person to tell me what word this is supposed to be:
cherobul
Oh, fine. I may not have gotten it either without context. Here's the sentence:
I don't get in cherobul.
Got it? I won't even make you raise your hand and wait to be called on.

Well done, Caroline! Especially for a math teacher.

I knew it! Before I even saw Caroline's answer!
I laughed out loud at choosing your male/female. I just... I have no idea. Please let us know if you ever figure it out. IT WILL HAUNT ME.

Does this qualify as intellectual property theft? (I am working on a follow-up joke about intellect.)

How much do I want to walk around the rest of the day using "I am go for [enter noun/verb/phrase here]"? So much so that I'm totally doing it.
I am go for leaving this comment.

was s/he trying to say "Chernobyl". As in "I don't get in Chernobyl"? I wouldn't get in Chernobyl either.
