1,000 ways to die? nope, you're wrong

Claire: I think it's sad when people die. Sometimes I lay in bed and think about how people can die.
Ben: Well you can die from a heart attack. Or alligator attacks.
Me: Is that it?
Ben: Yeah....I think so.

you got served

A student left early today to celebrate Passover with their family, and not long after she left a student asked what Passover was. Another Jewish student who was at school taught us about Passover, and then another student asked how it got its name. When he couldn't answer, they said we should research it, which we did. After talking all about it this conversation happened.

Kid 1: (said snottily) Why are we even talking about this?
Me: Well, someone asked where ..... was and some of your friends wanted to research more about it. I think it's great when we can learn more about someones culture and religion. 
Kid 2: (said while looking straight at the girl) Boo ya!

time difference

Claire: My mom tried to facetime me at school today. At like, 1:30!
Me: That's weird.
Ben: Not really. I mean, it's 30 minutes later in Louisiana so she didn't realize it was 2:00. 
Me: Wait. Do you think there's a time difference between here and there? And only a 30 minute time difference?
Ben: Yeah. 
Me: Ok, but at 2:00 Claire still was in school, so why would your mom try her then?
Ben: I don't know. She's a nut.
