Introductions:
Me - very funny. very clever.
Heather - Fellow teacher. Thinks I am very funny and very clever.
Ron - My department head. Doesn't so much think I am very funny and very clever. About 65 years old. Has been teaching at this school for 35 years now. Which means that he has taught some of my student's parents. And once taught physics to the school's current physics teacher.
The conversation:
Me: Hey, Ron. Heather and I found a lab we're going to do in Chemistry on Halloween. It's called Playing with Polymers.
Ron: How much is it going to cost?
Me: It's going to be really fun. They make four different kinds of slime, and run some simple tests on the polymers.
Ron: What supplies do you need?
Me: Look, they call the slimes Boogers, Goobers, Gook, and Ooblek. Funny, huh?
Ron: What supplies do they need to make the boogers?
Me: Hehe. Well, I think just a finger and a nose.
Heather: Hehe.
Ron (Pausing long enough to let me know just how dumb he thought that comment was): So how much is this going to cost?
Me: Hehe. Uh, so I was joking about the finger and the nose thing....
Ron: Right. So how much will this lab cost?
I feel so unappreciated.

i think Ron has a giant booger stuck up his butt.
Tell him you can use that one as the supplies if he's worried about the budget.

I LOVE teaching. So so much. It's a lot of fun, and there are SO many funny stories to tell, and this time of the year is really great because right about now, they're all starting to really understand the concepts and everything seems to be coming together. I love it.
Ron is actually very funny, he just worries that with three women in his department, we're going to spend all of his money. And he's right...
