Today’s assignment was to eavesdrop on a conversation and write it down.  This was during my 1st period class when kids were supposed to be talking only about ballet articles for an open-ended writing assignment.  They were obviously off topic.

Girl 1 – “I’ve been having strange dreams lately.”

Girl 2 – “Me, too.”

Girl 1 – “I keep ending up on the floor or all twisted up in my covers.”

Girl 2 – “You talk in your sleep, too.”

Girl 1 – “What do I say?  And you snore.”

Girl 2 – “I do not!”

Girl 1 – “Yes, you do.”

Girl 2 – “You yelled, ‘Mom!’” last night.

Girl 1 – “Really?  I think I dreamed I was swimming.”
