Classroom Chronicles: Part 1

Kid 1: Why can’t we say “on fleek” in your room?

Me: Fleek is not a word, and the phrase itself makes absolutely no sense.  I’m trying to correct your writing, and since you guys write the same way that you speak, I’m banning certain phrases.

Kid 1: Yeah, it’s actually on fleet and not fleek.  We just don’t say it right.

Me: That doesn’t make sense either.

Kid 2: You stupid! A fleet is like a fleet of birds.

Me: No sweetie, you mean flock. A flock of birds.

Kid 2: Oh.

Kid 1: Now who’s stupid?!
