Trick or Treat?

The other night in my college class, it is a break and we are talking about costumes. One of the girls asks if I am going to wear a costume to my daytime teaching job. I tell her no that I don't need to give the junior high kids any more ammo. She says that I could go as an M&M that that costume seems to be the universal teacher costume. I then tell her about the funniest costume that I've seen-two guys come to a party with the M&M costumes but they have taken off one of the M's and replaced it with an S so they are now are S&Ms. Everyone laughs...all except one girl who has been listening. She asks, "I don't get it. They came as Skittles and M&Ms?"

Would you like paragraphs with that?

I also teach at a local college. The students had their first assignment coming up and I told them that I preferred their papers to be in APA style. After class the other night a student comes up and tells me that she has never written in "ADA style" and then asks if she is required to have paragraphs with her paper. Holding back my laughter I told her that I would appreciate them very much.
