Story Time

So I know yesterday I said I'd let you know about the plant music experiments, and I will. But I'm not going to retype them all here. Instead, here's the direct link to the site page that talks about it:

Today, I actually have a story about yesterday I'd like to share with you. I have a professor for a certain class who likes to have fun while teaching and get laughs from his students. But yesterday when he walked in, he was so serious he may have even been scowling. When a classmate asked him how he was, he growled, "I'm in a bad mood."

As dead silence reigned from the students, the professor ordered us to get out a piece of paper. We began to comply, but two seconds later he asked us if we were done yet. I could tell a couple of my classmates were getting upset at his lack of common sense plus patience.

I'll be honest. The only thought going through my head at the time was, "Lord, please don't let me laugh, just in case he's serious."

When we finally all had our piece of paper out, our teacher pulled out a box of crayons, grinned, and said, "Now let's all make hand turkeys."

You can imagine the reaction he got. Lots of highly relieved laughter and good-natured complaints about how he scared us all half to death. And we worked on hand turkeys while he talked about our next assignment.
