Sometimes I Wonder Why...

Monday during science:
Miss Wright: Tomorrow you will have a quiz.
Class: awwwww.
MW: I'll be nice, I'll tell you what's on the quiz. You need to know the five uses of water. There will be one question "What are the five uses of water?".

Tuesday during science:
MW: I think we'll take a break from the note taking today and just have our quiz and chat about what we've learned so far. Take out a piece of paper. (pause for paper to be taken out) Alright. Here is your question, "What are the five uses of water?"
Girl Student: Miss Wright, what's the question?
MW: What are the five uses of water?
Girl: So there are five?

(class finishes quiz and turns it in except girl...)

Girl: Miss Wright? What if we can only think of two?
MW: (very upset) WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN ONLY THINK OF TWO?!??!?!?!!? DIDN'T YOU STUDY?!?!
Girl: I didn't know we were having a quiz.
MW (still very upset, and getting angrier) GET OUT YOU ASSIGNMENT NOTEBOOK!!!!
(Girl gets assignment notebook.) WHAT DOES THIS SAY?
Girl: Quiz over five uses of water on Tuesday.
MW: Did you study? Why didn't you study?

(Miss Wright walks away--obviously frustrated with girl)

Girl: umm....Miss Wright?
Boy sitting next to girl: Don't you get it?!?!

Gargh! Sometimes I wonder, why? In case you're wondering, she passed the dumb quiz because she pulled one use out of her ear, she also go six bonus points. Although a 66% on a quiz when I tell you the question the day before is just as bad as failing!
