Today, in Class... That Explains the Snow

My classroom is your typical classroom--except there's a door in one wall. This is because the small room on the other side of the door used to be a storage room, but (because of overcrowding, etc.) it's now an office for the guidance counselor. We just keep that door shut and locked and pretend it's part of the wall.

Yesterday was the first day of school with a new semester, which means: new kids.

New Kid: Mrs. Revis! Mrs. Revis!

Me: Yes?

New Kid: Where does that door go to?

Me: *deadpan* Narnia.

New Kid: *whispers* What?

Me: Narnia. For reals. It's snowing over there. Narnia, White Witch, all that.

Other New Kid, Who Sits Near the Door: Hey, it *is* colder over here!

New Kid and Entire Rest of the Class: *stares at the door in awe*



...and they're sixteen years old.

    Don't we all, deep down inside, want to believe in Narnia, after all?

    I wonder if I could get my H.S. classes to go for something like that? I'll have to give it a try - of course, I don't have an extra door in my room. :-)

    College applications...mythical land filled with allegorical talking creatures. It's all the same to me.

    Wow.

    Okay, for a second, I thought that this would be a story about kids in high school not knowing what Narnia is, and then I would have to be very, very sad. But, since it's a story about kids believing in Narnia, it makes me very happy. :D

    Bahahaaahaaaa! That's awesome? But how did you manage to get a classroom of non-cynical 16 year olds?
