Awkward...

Every week my students take a Bible memory test. To break up the monotony I normally give them a scenerio or question that they have to answer on the back of the paper. Because I teach 13 and 14 year olds, the questions/situations are normally a little off beat. Random, if you will.

The question this week was, "What's the strangest thing to say during an awkward silence?" Here are some of the funnier answers:

"Marry me."
"Duck!"
"What's that on your face?"
"I'm the one who killed grandpa!"
"Shrimp can change their gender."
"I've just realized that I've never seen your eyebrows before."
"Stalin was cool."
"Just FYI. I'm pregnant."
"Mr. H. is weird."

Proof again that 8th graders have great senses of humor...well, most of them.
