Superstar?
Yes, that was the question, asked to a 7th grader that I had known about 15 minutes during a class on prairie ecology.
See, she had tucked her hands into her armpits, and then blew on the to warm them up. It looked a lot like the girl from the old Saturday Night Live skit who would tuck her hands into her armpits and then smell them. Well, she, of course, looked at me like I was crazy, and that's was expected (just part of how I teach). However, her mom, my age, just about peed her pants from laughing so hard! It became a running gag with her mom as I bumped into her through the next couple years.
