Why I love teaching teenage boys

Betsy: Doing anything good for Spring Break?

Teenage Boy: My grandparents are taking the whole family on a Bahamas cruise.

Betsy: Sweet, that sounds fun.

Teenage Boy: I hope the ship has clubs, I really want to go dancing in the clubs.

Betsy: Oh, yeah?

Teenage Boy: Yeah, totally.

Betsy: You going to hug all the girls in the club?  Mr. Wilson said you hug all the girls in class instead of warming up every day.

Teenage Boy: Well, I'm going to DANCE with the girls, so, I'll, like, put my arm around their waist or something.

Betsy: Uh huh.

Teenage Boy: Maybe make out with them or something.

Betsy: Uhhhhh huh.

Teenage Boy: (struts around a little)

Betsy: You know what makes you really good at making out?  Lip slurs. 

Teenage Boy: Oh, really.

Betsy: Yes.

Teenage Boy: Practicing lip slurs makes you good at kissing?

Betsy: Yes, practicing lip slurs makes you good at kissing.

Teenage Boy: And, like, other stuff.  Right?

Betsy: (choke)

Teenage Boy: (smiling naughtily)

Betsy: What, like whistling?  Yes.  Practicing tuba makes you good at whistling.  And other stuff.
