As a special bonus, this conversation happened on Wednesday right as the last bell was about to ring:
Student 1: I have a song in my head!
Student 2: What song?
Student 1: Mike Jones. (hums a bit and turns to me) Ms. B, do you ever listen to rap?
Student 2: Look at her. She doesn’t listen to rap.
If you had been there, you might have heard me gasp.
Me (indignantly): I listen to rap, but not crap like Mike Jones.
And now that I look at this week’s FRT, I realize that while I may not listen to Mike Jones, I listen to my own brand of crap that deserves its own pathetic category. On the other hand, it can get worse than Too Short.
