I've got 2 cracked ribs, but I can still play Saturday.

A student just walked into my room. Eighth grade. When they don't bring their PE clothes, the PE teacher sends them to my room to read. I figured that was what was going on when he showed up with a book.

I said "No gym clothes?"

No. I have two cracked ribs so I can't do PE.

How did you do that?

I got hit playing football on Saturday.

Oh, so you're out of football for awhile?

No, I'm still going to play on Saturday.

WHAT?? You can't do PE, but you'll play on Saturday?

He just shrugged.
