okay, secretlifeof_em reminded me of something funny that happened today.
i ate a huge chocolate chip cookie today at like 10:30 am, so i wasn't really hungry at our 11:10 lunch hour. ahem. our 11:10 lunch half hour.
anywho, my prep period is fouth (we're on block schedule, so it's the last period of the day), and i knew i could hold out till then. so, at about 2:15, my tummy starts growling, and i heat up a big bowl of chicken noodle soup to eat as i grade papers in my room. i finish the soup just before the kids start coming in and the first girl to walk into homeroom says, quite assuredly, "it smells like chicken noodle soup in here."
i was all: YEAH!
then, as every other student entered, the weirdest thing happened. each of them commented on (without knowing anyone else had commented) the smell, but each person was VERY specific.
"ms jones, it smells like beef stroganoff in here!"
"ew, it smells like chicken fajitas in here."
"what is that smell? beef and noodles?"
"it smells like broccoli casserole in here."
how strange that they all thought it was something different! i like it. i shall perhaps play the "what's that smell" game with them every B day from now on. it was quite fascinating. lessons in the olfactory system, with ms jones.
