I feel ya!

I was giving a spelling test to my students today when something struck me as funny. Well, at least it was funny to me.

When I give a spelling word, I say the word, use it in a sentence and then repeat the word. For example, if the word is apple, it might sound something like this. "Apple. I ate an apple for lunch today. Apple".

One of the words on today's test was "entirely". My example sentence was, "After a long week of school, I am entirely exhausted". It was at that point one of my students blurted out, "I feel ya, man!". If the comment hadn't been completely inappropriate and rude, I probably would have laughed. It actually was a funny, but ill timed little quip.
