Today there was a situation in my class. There was a new projector cable, but it was coiled and tied with those zip tie things. I asked my students if anyone had a pocket knife (having lost my own at an airport this summer). My students stared blankly at me and shook their heads. Shoot, if I’d been in Texas, it wouldn’t have been a strange question, and I wouldn’t have had to walk all over trying to find a pair of scissors because someone would have had one. I guess a pocket knife is going on my Christmas wish list.

But how will you bring it back to Boston on a plane?

Susan beat me to it – guess you’ll have to mail it back to yourself?

If you’re teaching freshman, you have to remember that if a teacher had asked for a pocket knife last year and they had given her one, they might have been expelled!

Really??? Well, that makes sense then. But it still wouldn’t have been a weird question in Texas.
