My boy is in Yr6 now. They are the big kids in the schol and definitely looking it (Receptioners (Preps) are such teeny littlies). This morning over breakfast he was telling me how his new teacher had asked the class yesterday if they knew which was the bestselling book of all time
Apparently she received a few thoughtful and reasonable answers -Harry Potter, the English dictionary and such - before my son' bestie put up her hand and said
'Is it 50 Shades of Grey, Miss?'
I imagine the teacher was still having conniptions and fanning herself when the correct answer was eventually given.
Trash Can Do Anything! (The not-so-secret diary of life and stuff in a hilltop town.)
Oh, that's so funny!!!
ReplyDeleteInnocent me had to google that book! *giggles*. BRILLIANT answer!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I teach reading and would be floundered if one of my little students came up with that answer. Ya gotta love 'em!
