Seniors . . . The End Is Nigh

A student that I know quite well was taking forever on a quiz, and so I said to him, jokingly, "Okay, Nico, finish it up . . . take your D like a man," and while I meant "D" as in a poor grade, he interpreted it another, much filthier way-- which I immediately realized and said, "or C-, you know what I meant," but it was still pretty funny (almost as funny as moments before, when Nico's friend Frankie shoved two apple slices into his ears, and instead of chastising him, I said, "What are you listening to, Apples in Stereo?" but of course, no one appreciated that joke because they had never heard of The Apples in Stereo-- and you just can't explain that kind of thing) and these are my seniors in February . . . what's going to happen in June?

i think you should have apple in stereo playing when they come into class tomorrow, and when one of them asks what it is, you tell them and see which ones get the joke.

that's brilliant, but we have an A/B schedule, so i won't see them until monday-- and by that time they won't remember, because of tiktok dementia
