The Fifth Graders Probably Think I'm a Little Odd

One of the fifth grade English classes came in to do a little research this afternoon. I think they might be writing a persuasive article on a topic of their choice. One of the students chose tennis and was doing a little reading. As I walked by, she looked up and said, "Tennis balls are made of wool!"

Without missing a beat, I cocked my head quizzically and replied, "You mean there are green sheep?"

Even the English teacher told me to keep my day job. (Nicely, though.)
