I JUST OVERHEARD two of my students in the hallway.

Student A: “Hey, where were you last week?”
Student B: “Oh, I had to take care of some stuff.”
Student A: “Dude, the essay was due yesterday.”
Student B: “I’ll get it in Friday.” Long pause. “I checked with that girl behind me. She said I didn’t miss anything.”
Student A: “Homework was due on Monday. Oh, and we did something on Wednesday.”
Student B: “Well, I didn’t miss anything.”
