Here are just some of the tidbits I heard this afternoon from my students....while I am teaching grammar. They are so strange!
"Black people like to name their babies after things they want but they cannot afford" (said by a black boy..)
Another black boy says "Chris, our names are Chris and we are black. That is not true."
Original black boy, "Not always, but when you hear names like Diamond and Jaguar, they are always black!" Oh my.
White boy, "My aunt named her daughter Diamond, and she is white!" So there! okay....
That conversation would probably still be going on if grammar had not stepped in to save the day and keep us on track. Thanks, grammar.
Happy Halloween and 3 day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a random conversation.....
