On Teaching

"What does 'scene' make you think of?"

"I don't know, like a... place, or like in a movie."

"Great! A movie. What's your favorite movie?"

"I don't know. I don't know what it's called... it's um... Oh yeah. District 9."

"What was your favorite scene?"

"I don't know."

"The guy turning into the alien? Something like that."

"NO!"

"Any scene then."

"Oh yeah. When the alien threw up."

"That's GREAT! Will you throw up for us?"

"No. I'm not gonna throw up."

"Why not?"

"It's gross."

"But it'll be great! Here, I'll throw up with you. On 3. 1... 2... 3."
