It's kinda sweet...

Cast: Kid A - obnoxious student in one of my classes.
Kid B - possibly the most obnoxious student in all of my classes who is a huge instigator of problems.
Kid C - another annoying student in the class.
Me - me, cranky, tired, and annoyed teacher

Me: (teaching poetry terms)
Kid A: Ms. S, where's my math and literature book? I left them in here the other day.
Me: I don't know, I haven't seen any of them.
Kid C: Why did you have either of them in here? This isn't math and you don't need to bring your literature book to class?
Kid A: Can I go to math and look for them?
Me: No, I'm right in the middle of teaching a lesson full of information for your benchmark tomorrow.
Kid A: (under his breath) Ms. S can ......
Kid B: (angrily stands up, approaches the other student and holds a pencil to his eye) Ms. S, he said something really bad about you.
Me: Okay, but you need to sit down.
Kid B: But don't you want to know what he said?
Me: No, not really. Sit down.
Kid B: But it was really mean. I'll stab him in the eye for you.
Me: Thanks, but no thanks. Take your seat.

I'm a little flattered.
