The Difference Between a 5th grader and an 8th grader

5th Grader: Mrs. Sorry, I'm finished with my assignment. May I please study my vocabulary words until everyone else is finished?

ME: Umm.. absolutely you may study your vocbulary words. GREAT idea.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ME: (8th Grader) Why do you have your head down?

8th grader: Because I'm FINISHED with the assignment

ME: If you're finished, why don't you take this time to study your vocabulary words?

8th grader: Do I HAVE to?

ME: Yes.

8th grader: (Loud Sigh) Fine........

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet, I still prefer 8th graders to 5th graders...

Does that make me crazy?
