This was kind of funny- my students always provide me with big laughs - usually with me as the foil- as I am in this story.
I work at a place where the students live and they have a cafeteria and at breakfast they give them these little coffee cakes wrapped in plastic. Well, there's no eating in the classroom (supposedly) but these kids bring these little cakes EVERY SINGLE DAY and try to quietly sneak into them and eat them.
There's this guy named Robert who is the biggest culprit. So I'm writing at the board with my back to the class and I hear the plastic crinkling and I am so annoyed because this happens every day with this kid so I whip around and say, 'WHY do you always have to play with your CAKE?'
The class erupted. And so did I...and now it's our running joke- anyway - me and a bunch of post pubescent adolescents of both genders found it funny..
