A Puppet Named Juan

'I'm reading aloud, Jeremy - My lips are SUPPOSED to be moving!'

I've been teaching art history for decades. Students today ask new kinds of questions. No, I doubt a gluten-free menu option was available that evening. Nope, the artist was not making a statement about climate change. No, despite the umbrellas, this is not about sun exposure safety. Well, yes, I suppose you can say it's a selfie.

'C'mon get it straight.'

'Never mind inspiration. I need background material on atomic physics.'

'But I digress...'

"No Timmy, I don't think your pencil has system requirments or upgrades you can download from the internet."

"My answers could be right. Your quiz just asked the wrong questions."

'From six to to eighteen, they're always at that age.'

Pi Ala Mode.

'He who laughs last probably doesn't get it.'

"Okay, that's enough Physics for one day. Take a break and chase your tails."

My book report is based on the audio book of the same name.

'What amazes me most is that years ago I couldn't even spell teacher - now I are one!'

'I'll give you a clue. The answer is a number, not a fruit.'

'Hi, Miss Henderson, we did collage in class today. Can you drive me home?'

'I started out as a teacher's pet, and then it kind of snowballed.'

How to deliver a successful presentation.

A Major Refresher Course is in Order.

"I remember when we first met you were an exhausted young doctor! Now you're an exhausted middle-aged doctor!"

'When I asked you to do research for your assignment, I meant the library not on Google!'
