Today, In Class... Shoot-out at the Egyptian Corral

We're learning about Egyptian literature in class now, and I mentioned King Tut.

Kid 1: How'd he die?

Me: Well, no one knows for sure. There was some suspicious stuff surrounding his death. But archaeologists have examined his body, and he does have a big hole in his head. (I take a breath to explain more...)

Kid 2: Ohmygosh! Did someone shoot him?!

Entire Class: *slow-turn of heads to stare at Kid 2*

Kid 2: What?! Is that what really happened?!

Entire Class: *facepalm*

    Isn't that what happened?!

    Ohhhh, sorry, I'm confusing King Tut with Alexander the Great. My bad.

    ;)
