While working on plural forms of words one day, a student came up to ask me about "moose". I told him to think awhile and then show me what he came up with.
His first answer was "mooses". I told him to try again.
Second answer "meese". No, try again.
Third time coming up to my desk, in the quiet of the class working, he had had it. He didn't get it. He had a painful look on his face and was grasping at straws "moosies?"
I busted out laughing because I thought it was so cute. So much for a quiet class!
OK Scansy. How can you discern that?! I'm impressed if you're right :p
Remember how I picked that guys 400 IM time and you told me to buy lottery tickets? I haven't. But I did go to the horse races for the first time yesterday. We only bet on two races, but picked the winner both times. :)
Too bad luck doesn't translate to fast swimming! :p (Although I suppose it IS possible for everyone to get DQ'd in my age group at Nationals except me!)
