So my freshmen are diligently working(more or less) on an assignment, when one of them says very abruptly
“We should have a national ABBA dedication day.”
I responded, not quite sure he’d actually said what I thought he said
“Really? Are you sure you mean ABBA? I mean they’re kind of old don’t you think?”
Another student asked incredulously
“Are they still alive?”
I sighed, kind of amazed that any of these students actually know who ABBA is
“Of course they’re still alive. I mean, they’re old but they’re not THAT old.”
The first student chimed in again
“I think they made mostly Disco music. . .I really like Disco music. . .Maybe we should have a national Disco dedication day.”
Shortly thereafter this same student starts singing “Heart of Glass” to himself, to which a nearby student asked
“Is that ABBA?”
“No, that’s Blondie”
Then he decided to start singing YMCA, at which point I gently reminded him that there is no singing in Computer class.
someone says
hehehe, and who would those students be?
