Talkative...

Sorry for the delay.  Between a field trip, Spring Break, and being sick, I've missed a few days.  My apologies.

I teach four grades: third to sixth.  In each grade level, we have a set of twins.  It's a unique situation that I'm sure scientists would love to study sometime.

Anyway, One of my twin sets is a set of girls.  One day in science class, the talkative one of the set began telling a story.  I should note here that one of her story can cause your legs to go numb, so we (the class) kind of sat down and waited for the storm to die down. 

This little girl is known for her long diatribes and abrubt endings.  As her story gained length and there seemed to be no end in sight, the survivors looked around at each other for support.  It was going to be a long haul. 

After a few more minutes, the story ended suddenly.  Feeling slightly relieved, I looked at the little girl who had just finished her narrative and asked her a question. "Do you talk in your sleep?"  Then, not to seem rude, I added, "Just curious."

She wasn't offended.  "Nope."  she said.  "But my sister does!"

Beside me, the quieter sister muttered under her breath, "That's the ONLY time I get to talk..."

She has to save up, but they're good when she gets them out.
