Are you gonna get rich and quit teaching?
Rashid: oh, before you go
Him, via Sidekick II: Huh
Rashid: i had two of my books in a grocery bag today, and one of my students asked why was i always carrying books around
Rashid: and one of the other kids also said i was always carrying books around
Rashid: and the first kid says "Are those your books Mr. Darden?"
Rashid: and I said yeah
Rashid: and he said "You wrote them?"
Rashid: and I said yeah
Him, via Sidekick II: Yea
Rashid: so of course they got psyced
Rashid: then kid #1 says:
Him, via Sidekick II: Ok
Rashid: "Mr. Darden, so you're gonna get rich off of these books and quit being a teacher?"
Him, via Sidekick II: Awwww
Rashid: HI-fuckin-LARIOUS
Him, via Sidekick II: Its sweet too
Rashid: and i said YUP CUZ I WRITE BOOKS, BITCH!!!
Rashid: okay, not really, but i thought it real hard :-)
Him, via Sidekick II: Lol
What also happened was that my kids asked what the novel was about. And I said that it's about a guy who goes to college and experiences....stuff.
So they say "It's about SEX???!!!!"
And I say NO!!!! But it's for grown folks!
Then another kid says "So this book about Mr. Darden is about sex."
And I say NO, it's not about MR. DARDEN!!! It's fiction, you know, NOT TRUE.
And then the kid said "Oh okay. So this book is about a guy who went to Georgetown and is wearing blue and gray new balance, blue jeans, and a football jersey, and a purple bag, and has dreadlocks, and is standing right in front of me. HMMM, WHO AM I????"
Little whippersnappers!!!!
