Baby Brave Pt. 1
~A conversation with a teacher some time ago and went something like this~
Teacher: Who is the bravest person on this planet?
Class: WTF
Teacher: C'mon. When you think of bravery, who come to mind? King Arthur? Who would do something you would never do?
Class: [tentatively]"...police?"
Teacher: No. Next.
Class: Firefighters. FBI.
Teacher: Seriously? Nope.
Class:[conversation is gaining momentum]"President." "No idiot, Marines." "Nah, Steve-O. "Police officers?" "We already said that." "My dad."
Teacher: Nope, nada, no, no, I don't know your dad so no. All wrong.
Class: It's a trick question. Teachers are brave, right? For dealing with us?
Teacher: Well...no.
Class: [continues to pester with suggestions because it was either this pointless conversation or math]
Teacher: All good guesses, but no. You know who really are the bravest people on this planet? Babies. [nonchalantly starts looking through his phone while we protest how stupid that answer was and ask why]
Class: That's dumb. Babies aren't brave.
Teacher: Oh yes they are. Tell me class, what would happen if you were standing in the middle of the highway with a semi-truck headed your way.
Class: Get the fuck outta there. [LOLs all around because the F bomb was dropped, do you copy?]
Teacher: Watch your mouth. Okay, so you would move. What would a baby do?
Class: Is it is a stroller/car-seat?
Teacher: No. It's just laying there. What would the baby do?
Class: Can it crawl?
Teacher:...sure. What would the baby do?
Class: Nothing. The baby is stupid. It would just sit there and get run over. Oh wait, it's a trick. The truck would stop.
Teacher: [sighs] Everything was right until that last part. Okay, the baby would sit there and even thought a huge Wal-Mart truck is going to run it over and get baby all over it's tires, the baby would just sit there. Isn't that about the bravest thing you ever heard?
Class: [a collective] WTF?! No babies are dumb. They don't have the mental capacity to move. That's why they need help with eating and bathing and changing clothes. They're BABIES! They're not brave, they just drool.
Teacher: Nope, babies are the bravest. All of you just said yourself that you would run. Cowards. But babies? They take it, head on.
Class: BECAUSE THEY'RE BABIES! Do you even have kids?! You need to go back to school and get a real degree.
~End conversation because we had a test...and we were also being quite vocal with our...comments~
