Yo dawg...


Yesterday in class, I showed off my model of a 1s orbital inside a 2s orbital - a dark blue balloon blown up inside a larger, inflated white balloon.

When I did the, I made a comment about "yo dawg, I heard you like balloons".

Very few students got the gag.

Lemme just suggest that they should know their meme.

My references are much more cultivated than yours...

Seriously, still geeked those kids got the Steinbeck reference this morning.

Michelle - glad I could help clear things up for you. I noticed after school that my 10th bell aide had searched for "yo dawg" and "balloon inside your balloon". The first might've been productive. The second not much.

Calen - I've made literate references, too. You can barely keep your students' minds out of the gutter. A pier, eh?

That was not a reference, sir...that was a 17 year old boy hearing what he wanted to hear...
