Kids say the darndest things

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. Highlights of the past month or so:

• 3 days after our "couple date," I got a nice thank-you note in my box from the teacher we invited. Does that count as calling within 3 days? Do we get a second date now? Somebody consult The Rules!
• Nice Christmas in Colorado with "the fam."
• D and I both got sick with a nasty cold the day after Christmas.
• Drove back through Iowa to Chicago with Jeff, dropped him off at school.
• Bailed on what would have been a fun New Year's party (sorry B!) and drove home because we still felt sick.
• Nice quiet New Year at home, though. The 1st was great too...a whole day to do absolutely NOTHING.
• Playing catch-up ever since I got back to school with lesson planning, grading etc. Speaking of which, midterm grades are due tomorrow, so I should go do that soon.

Getting back to the title, I wanted to share the following question that I got in class yesterday while discussing air pressure:

Student: "What would happen if we took all the air from around a person away? Would he implode?"

Me: "No, he would EXplode because the air pressure inside him would be pushing out!"

Student: "COOL!! Can we try it on John?"

Out of the mouths of babes. Where do they come up with this stuff?
