January 10 - Save the fruit flies

Episode watched: Ms. Bliss tries to save the 8th grade dance

There have been a rash of fruit flies hanging out in my office and classroom as of late. During lunch I had three girls sitting in my office watching me try to swat fruit flies.  They wanted to know why there were so many and it's because I luckily office next to the Genetics class that breeds fruit flies. One of them guessed that the "hippie" students must have let there's go in a peace protest. I told them about when Nikki refused to dissect frogs while in science class because of her overwhelming sense of morality.  One of my students said "Can you just internalize these thoughts and pretend like you said them?" And the answer young lady is "No, no I will not."

Lesson learned: Hippies are people too.
