“Oooohhh…”

“Yes, I know.”
“Whoa, did you know you have paint on your pants?”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Teacher, I think you sat in paint.”
“Yes, thank you. Can I have your attention everyone, please? Okay class, listen, yes, I have paint on my pants, and yes, I sat in it. Can we all get back to work now?”
“Whoa! Can we see it?”
“What color is it?”
FOURTH GRADERS BE LIKE:
“Huh?”
SIXTH GRADERS BE LIKE:
“You tell her.”
“No, I’m not going to tell her. You tell her.”
