And it shuts them up, I'll tell you what.
I think mine would respond, "Yeah, well, I don't get it. It's too hard!" and then stare at me as though to say, "So there, stupid." Somehow they think "I don't get this" is the end of the conversation, rather than the beginning. I'll give it a whirl, though.
Caveat: I have some really hard-working, dedicated kids who come and ask questions and get extra help. And others who really DO get it.
So my supervisor sent me an e-mail about how the big bosses said we could leave after 3pm if we wanted. It's now after 3, and I think the only reason I wasn't out the door 15 minutes ago is because when I leave, I have to go shopping.
Any Buffistas on LibraryThing want to give me their ids so I can enter them in my Watch List? (I'm Theodosia there, too.)
I don't know that the Bayistas have either a Captain Sanity or a Cat Herder in the tugboat. We have multiple ringleaders, though. ("Wait, I get it, that's a metaphor!")
LAistas don't have a tugboat.
I think we have an inflatable life-raft. With duct tape on it.

HEY! I've been known to both herd cats and be sane! Maybe not often, or at the same time or anything, but I have!

Or possibly just a couple of arm floaties.

As have I, but I know damn well no one will be calling me "sane" at any point. And you're usually too busy being a stoner to do either.
