On Tax Refunds....

My class was working in the library on Thursday, writing essays, doing like we do, when I happened to log on to Wells Fargo to check my bank account and--

Me: "Woooooooo!"

Students: (shocked, look at me)

Me: (double fist pump) "I just got my tax refund!"

Jake: "Your what?"

Me: "My tax refund, YEAH!"

Kate: "Ms. Sefcik! This is the library!"

Me: "But I--(dance around)--got my--(jump move)--tax--refunnnnnndddd!"

Greg: "So what does that mean?"

Me: "It means the government gave me money."

Sara: "Whoa! The government just gave you money? For free?"

Me: "Well, I mean, I paid the money in, but now they're giving it back to me."

Kate: "So, why did you pay more than you had to?"

Me: "Well.....I had to pay that then, and then I got to take deductions, so they recalculate what I owe--"

Greg: "Deductions? Wait, what do you mean they recalculated it?"

Me: "Okay, this is not..."

Kate: "So really, you just got back what you had already paid to begin with? That's it?"

Me: (frowny face) "This is supposed to be exciting. Really."
