Ben - Skool Egen

Student: How do I make blue?
Me: ...Blue.
Student: *sigh* Blue and what else?
Me: ...No, seriously: blue.

Me: ...and so the platypus made Tiddilick laugh, and all the waters came pouring back out...
Student: Did the animals drink the water?
Me: They sure did.
Student: Ew, yuk! They'll get frog germs!

Me: Who knows what this word is?
Student: (gasps) But that's illegal!
Me: Uh, no, this is the other kind of pot. You know, the sort you cook food in.

Your follow up response to Example could read like this ...

"Well see there are 3 primary colours - red, blue and yellow. If you have different mixes of these 3 colours, you can get every colour in the rainbow".

Student : What's a rainbow?

And then you're stumped again of course ............

Oh, yes; that's exactly what I should have said, had it been a proper art lesson. As it was, we were putting together those little paper hand dealies for a NAIDOC celebration, and there were about five hundred things happening at once. So I had to leave it until the next art lesson, which will be Wednesday.

In fact, thanks for reminding me!
