On Non-Boyfriends and Dating...

Layne: "Attention, everyone. Ms. Sefcik has a boyfriend, and we have not had an advisory discussion about this."

Allison: "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Me: "I don't have a boyfriend."

Layne: "Okay, well, Ms. Sefcik is dating someone."

Reagan: "I want pictures."

Me: "You get nothing."

Layne: "AHA! That's not a denial! I told you she has a boyfriend."

Me: "I don't have a boyfriend. How do you people even know about this, anyway?"

Layne: "Taylor."

Reagan: "Dating is the same as having a boyfriend."

Me: "Only in middle school."

Layne: (goes and grabs Taylor) "Taylor! Come hear about Ms. Sefcik's mystery man friend."

Me: "We are not discussing this."

Taylor: "When are you seeing him again?"

Me: "This weekend."

Taylor: "You have a date this weekend? I'm going to the movies, too! Maybe I'll see you there!"

Me: (thinking how hilarious it is that a date automatically equals the movies)

Kyle: "Maybe he's not even real."

Steve: "Did you meet him at the dog park?"

Kyle: "Ms. Sefcik, are you dating Zephyr?"

Me: "Oh ha ha. You're hilarious. Because I'm dating my dog."

Kyle: "I knew it!"

Allison: "That's so mean."

Me: "It's fine. This is ridiculous. New topic. Who likes zombies?"

Steve: "I LOVE ZOMBIES! Raaarrhhhhhhh."

Me: "Yes. Excellent. Talk about that."

Eric: "If I got bitten by a zombie, would you kill me, or would you let me live?"

Steve: "If you got bitten but were still alive, I'd shoot you in the face."

Eric: "what if we were locked in the same room and you didn't know that i was bitten but i was a zombie and i got up and i was all "ALGhhalalrrrlahh"

Kyle: "that's like in the Walking dead, the girl died and she's sitting there and she's all 'aww' and patting her face, and then she's like 'arrrgghhahhalllahahhh'"

Greg: "I'd shoot you all in the face. you know. if you were zombies."

Eric: "I love zombies, period!"
