there is no such thing as a dumb question

I have been reading a book that takes place during the dust bowl (1930's) with a group of students. We read about how the farmers were killing jackrabbits because they were eating the wheat they were trying so desperately to grow. One student raised her hand and very earnestly asked,

"Is that why they call them jackrabbits...cuz they jacked all their food?"

I laughed and told her that was a very good question.

Thanks, I guess...

Yesterday was so sunny that I broke out a skirt. Apparently I don't dress "nice" very often because one of my lovely students walked in the door with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "Man, you look weird" and then he proceeded with, "You look old fashioned"! Are you kidding me?
