We're reading a poem about a chimera, which is an ancient Greek mythological animal.
Kid: Shoo, that ain't nothing. I done shot me some chimera. Do it all the time. I be a hunter.
Me: A chimera isn't real.
Kid: Well, I woulda shot me a chimera if I coulda. Don't be hatin'.

LOL. It's the hunter in him (I'm assuming it's a him).
Are chimeras related to snipes? Although chiamera has a distinctly reptilian feel to it. ;-)
They're talking about Chimeras in Warcraft... a hunter is a class you play... betcha million bucks LOL!
oh and if he asks... tell him you play priest, and that hunters are weak since the last nerf... he will think you're the coolest teacher EVER.
I <3 high school students. I mean, just LOVE THEM : )
I am so going to miss these over the summer. Can you just make some up and pretend you're practicing writing dialog?!
Becky: HAHAHAHAAAA!!! :) Actually, right now I've been stretching to find anything about class...the last few days of school are HORRENDOUS.
Where do you teach? I remember being young and niave in Montana and everywhere out there is about teh jackolope and there were all these pictures and I called my mom and told her, "Yeah the rabbits here have antlers!" She had to break it to me gently...
I teach in a verrrrrrrrrrrrry rural town in the South...limited exposure to everything!
Haha, that's wicked :D
I hope you won't mind me leaving a comment on a two weeks old post. (I've just found here from N/A and read back a bit) The biologist in me just can't leave without saying that, besides the mythological creatures, there actually are Chimaera. They are fish that are closely related to sharks and rays. (Organisms created artificially with cells from different species are also referred to as chimera)
I hope the Kid won't find out just to go hunting them, though! ;)
