I should take pictures of Dylan and George, so you can envision this exchange.
Ray, reluctant new kid in my Study Skills class: "I'm working as fast as I can." (He wasn't!)
Dylan, apparently trying to show solidarity with his new classmate: "You know we have slow brains, Mrs. Terrill, that's why we're in this class."
Mrs. Terrill: "You don't have slow brains. You might have processing disorders, but no one in here has a slow brain. Stop making excuses."
George, random as usual: "Someday we'll all have gills anyway."
(Mrs. Terrill guffaws heartily - much to the amazement of the rest of the class.)
Maybe you had to be there.
