Superlatives
The students are learning about superlatives in my Elementary school English class. (Who is the tallest? Who is the youngest? Who is the quietest?) Well, it came time to figure out who was the strongest in the class, so I organized a quick arm wrestling competition to find out. One girl shone above the rest, creaming every other competitor. Just as I was about to conclude 'Sera is the strongest', she looks up at me and says 'teacher!', meaning that she wanted us to arm wrestle. In the spirit of things, I accepted, and boy, was she strong! It was dead even for quite a while, until I started mentally focusing on the fact I couldn't let myself be beat at arm wrestling by my elementary school student! Finally I prevailed, but I don't want to think what might have happened had her arm not been fatigued by the previous eight matches battled and won. Regardless, for now (and possibly forever) 'teacher is the strongest in our class!'. ;)
