Today's Deep Thought

(Note: my students have a daily journal-writing assignment where they write for five minutes on a question/quote/topic that's on the board when they come in. Some days we discuss them; some days we don't. Today, we discussed.)

Me: "So, what makes a lady or a gentleman?"

Student: "Well, good manners and stuff."

Me: "What constitutes 'good manners'?"

Student: "Helping little old ladies and making sure your fly is always zipped."

Me: "Setting that bar really high, aren't you?"
