Quirky Class Quotes Unmasked
The Stories Behind the Quotes.....
"Shut up, Amber!!"
Our mean teacher got really mad at Amber for running her mouth and screamed,"Shut up, Amber!!" Well, the rest of us started that kindergarten,"Oooo!" thing and she nervously said,"I'm human, I make mistakes."
"No, Amber! Don't eat that!!"
Amber had a habit of eating Sunny's lip gloss among other things. We had to scold her a lot.
"OK, time to shut down the computer."
A frequently vocalization from our mean teacher at the end of Computer Lab.
"Leave Chris out of this."
Our mean teacher liked Chris more than anybody else in our class so she took up for him a lot, even when it wasn't her business at all. Sunny, Maggie, and I (Ducky) were having a conversation in the Computer Lab when Chris's name came up. Our teacher was at another computer and said,"Could you leave chris out of this converastion for once?" We averaged this comment with others and got,"Leave Chris out of this."
"Stop taking up for me!!"
This was Chris's response that he yelled out to our teacher when we told him what she did that day. Of course, he kinda wept when we first told him.
"I have a demonic [mnemonic] device."
It all came about when John and the rest of us realized that "mnemonic" (memorizing aid) was easily confused with "demonic." John and Aren began calling each other demonic mole rats and the problem escalated to where we'd all quiver whenever our mean teacher said she had a mnemonic device. (We still weren't sure if she would show up film OK?)
"John! Give me that! Let go!"
John and our mean teacher had little quarrels a lot. This one was when John was playing with an umbrella and our teacher was trying to take it away from him. There were a few times she actually injured him.

"Listen at me!"

"Joe, keep all four chair legs on the ground."
Joe, along with most of the people in our math class, frequently had the urge to pop his chair up onto two legs or less. Yes, you can get a chair up on one leg. it's easy. I even taught Maggie to do it. Once, our mean teacher issued a decree that anyone who didn't keep all the chair legs on the floor would have to stand up for the rest of the class. John did it and our teacher came over to his chair and began to yank it out from under him while he held on to the chair and pleaded with her to stop. I remember our teacher bent over pulling the chair and John bent over holding onto his chair. I also remember the way his eyebrow-length bangs flying up as he hit the table in front of him as our teacher yanked the chair one last time. He fell on the floor holding his nose, screaming "Student abuse!! Student abuse!!"
"I'm throwin' the piggies off the hill..."
It began in history class and never ended. I don't know where it came from.
"Whoa, I saw your mouth moving but it was like,'blah, blah, blah.'"
It's how we all felt in math class. The teacher didn't know what she was teaching and made a 50 min. math class into a 3 hour tour (and you know what happens to "3 hr. tours"). We adopted the ending song of "Lamb Chop's Play-along" but changed a few words. "This is the class that never ends. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Our teacher started teaching it, not knowing what it was, and she'll continue teaching it forever just because...."
"Sunny, move to this desk..."
Poor Sunny go moved around a lot toward the end of the school year. At least the teacher was stupid enough to sit her next to Elise.
"Free the cows!"
A phase that commonly appeared behind the posters hung over part of the chalkboard. Doesn't make sense? Think of us as the "cows."

"Stop looking at me!"
Poor Sunny is paranoid about people looking at her ever since Chris revealed his feelings.
"You're getting a bad note home, big girl!!!"
Amber was annoying our mean teacher again and she screamed that comment at her. Everyone kinda looked puzzled, even Amber, and almost at the same time said,"Big girl?" and burst into laughter.
"Turn the lights back on."
We liked sitting in the dark, mostly during math class, since it was in a virtual basement. Our mean teacher hated it when Joe or John would turn out the lights.
"Ha ha, very funny."
Our mean teacher's sarcastic and over-used reply to anything she wanted to be snide about.
"Maggie, don't click the clicky yet!"
In the Computer Lab, our class had to shut down and turn off the computers since we were the last class. We would have to shut them down and turn off the power strips. The power strips have a little light-up switch that Maggie calls "the clicky." She liked clicking the clicky. Bt you have to wait till the computer says you can or it might mess up something. Maggie isn't a very patient person. 'Nough said.
"Dorkwad!"
Our name for Chris or whoever else displays Chris-like qualities.
