brazilian chicks

i'm subbing at mhs today and just heard this little gem...

class is nearly over and the students are all chatting.

boy student: Wait--where do you find Brazilian chicks?

girl student: Um, Brazil? (walks to front of the room, pulls down a map and points to it)

boy student: Wait--it's in South America?? That's it. I'm going to college there.

recollection

tonight i suddenly recalled an experience i had as a young teenager...it brought on wonderful thoughtfulness, fascination, introspection...and just a tad of amusement.

it happened at a friend's youth group that i attended for a few weeks (somewhat begrudgingly, i might add, given my agonizing shyness). overwhelmed by the crush and crowd of dozens of loud, outgoing, chatty teenagers, i was doing all i could just to pretend i was smiling. everyone knew each other and everyone had friends. i was all alone...the friend i had come with had seemed to disappear.
