Kids say the dumbest darndest things.  We are reading the play, The Tell-Tale Heart, and I am trying to get my students excited about it.  I tell them it's about GUILT and MURDER and...Front-Row Joe interrrupts me and asks "Is this the friendly kind of murder?"(Blank stare from me) "Because I don't really like nice murder.  You know, where they hold pillows over their faces and stuff."  This is going to be a long day.
