Dead dogs and all that jazz

So, while playing an icebreaker where students tried to find one thing they have done that no one else has done in the class, the following became the highlights:

"Have any of you ever picked up a dog thinking it was a stuffed animal, and then realized it was a dead dog. And then, when you realized it was a dead dog, you threw it at your sister."

This came in second to this:

"Well, have any of you ever banged on the bathroom door while your papi is in there going number 2, and he yells at you to stop, but you keep hitting the door and he keeps yelling. But, the yelling stops and you realize he is coming out to find you, and he is really mad. Well, then, have you put pillows in your bed to make it look like you are there while hiding from your mad papi under your bed and watched him hit the pillows on your bed?"

Seriously, these kids are hilarious. They may not be able to read and write well, but they certainly have some crazy life experiences.

Sidenote: Jenni, I should ask them if anyone has propositioned them with poo crayons. :P I suppose we all have our stories...as random as they may be....

hehe...

British response

If you are interested, I suggest you read this article...it provides the responses of the British people who were in the Superdome and finally got back home recently. Warning: it is also upsetting to read about their experience as it casts Americans as pretty awful. Worth reading, though, to get an international point of view.
