One of my classes has decided that for Christmas they want to get my Bill Nye. As in, they want to assemble all the notes they’ve taken on his videos and send them to him along with my phone number, at which point he’ll be so impressed that he’ll call me and we’ll get married. I said that it sounded like they were just trying to get rid of me, to which one kid responded, “No, Miss! We just want you to get married and have a beautiful life!”

Then another kid commented that “It’s kind of weird how Bill Nye always has all those kids in his lab, is he doing experiments on them?” and ruined it.

However, my favorite kid quote from today was when I was telling them how global warming is threatening the habitats of certain species, and to drive the point home I showed them this picture:

They were all kind of sad, until one of my craziest students yelled out, “Of course polar bears are going extinct, how can they make more of themselves IF THEY’RE HUMPING ICE?!?!”
