"How come you haven't taken the candle I gave you home yet?" a student asked me this afternoon about the gift he had given me for teacher appreciation week.
"I have it on my desk so I'll remember to do that," I told him. "In fact I'm going to put it in my bag right now, and then every time I use it, I'll think of you..."
He smiled.
"And I'll think That guy was so smart, but he never did his work!" I continued, looking him dead in the eye, as he sat there not working.
His eyes widened and he frowned. "Hey!"
"But you can change my memory right now!" I said, "C'mon over here and get some work done! It would be a shame to ruin that nice candle!"
