Students: Sure... Yeah, tell us something.
Me: Think about how old you are.
Student: 14!
Me: In your head. Do you have it?
Students nod.
Me: OK, add four. Are you voting in the next election? Happy or sad, are you getting involved?
Students cheer!

Student: Ms. D, did you know that if all the states were the same, then McCain would have beat Obama?
Me: Sure. I mean, that doesn't make sense. They're NOT all the same.
Student: I know. I'm just saying. Gosh.

Me: Good morning, Period Two! Please get out your journals. OK, we're writing New Quarter Resolutions today. Who knows what a resolution is?
Student: (raises hand) OBAMA!
