We have this very gullible girl on the team since last year. We have convinced her that 1: chickens have 4 legs, and the wings are processed meat (thats why there is more wings than legs).
2: I drive a party tractor to school with a trailer that fits 150 people 3: laptops can be dishwashed as long as you use the proper detergent Any way to protect her identity i will use the name klocksy, (she named the clock). Mentor: pop rots your teeth. Klocksy: Unless your Superman, and IM superman Mentor, James, Brady and I talk about putting quote on chief delphi Klocksy: What are you guys talking about, popRocks? James: yeah, we are making a shopping list. Klocksy: I'll buy! James: yeah were going to buy it on chief delphi Klocksy: Ok She later went to name the white board poprock. We get on the topic of how cameras are not water proof Klocksy: I bought a new camera. Brady: Is it Water proof? Klocksy: No but I am. These were just 2 of at least 20 quotes that were said by her today. We limited ourselves to recording 2 or else we would never actually get any work done |
