Me: (to the four worst kids in one of my classes) Let's be perfectly clear, here. If you do not take this practice test, which WILL count as a grade for you, seriously; if you disrupt the room in any way, I will be referring you to the office.
Them: Okay, we understand.
(ten minutes later during test, students are poking, kicking, calling each other names, out of seats, talking, and throwing things.)
Me (at end of test): All right, you will all be receiving referrals. (Explains why, shows list of notes taken during test time as they ignored being told to stop ___ annoyance over and over again.)
Them: Why? We didn't do nothin'.
Me: (serious fantasies of murder)
One of them: I didn't say that.
Another of them: She just gonna lie about you anyway, don't bother tryna talk to her.
Me: (You assholes have no idea how lucky you are to be walking out of this room instead of being tucked unconscious into an ambulance after my efforts to literally knock some fucking sense into your tiny pea brains.)
