Dominique noticed just now that he had somehow gotten ballpoint ink on the sleeve of his nice new white shirt. He was rather annoyed, thinking it wouldn't come out. I suggested that he spray some hairspray on it to get it out, since that sometimes loosens ink stains.
"You're just ghetto, Mrs. Wood," he replied, shaking his head.
I was working on his IEP (Individualized Education Plan) just a bit ago, and I was asking him some of the basics (address, middle initial, etc.) so that I wouldn't have to dig around his file for it. I called out the category "Race/Ethnicity," and he said (completely seriously), "Do they list Blaxican?"
The whole Race/Ethnicity thing is so bogus anymore. Especially at this school. I'm going to start writing my own in, under the Other heading: "Human".
