The magical properties of dog spit

I don’t often write about my students. They are mostly harmless and don’t deserve to be used as subjects of my witterings, as they might start demanding editorial rights or something. To be honest if I did decide that they were fair game then I could pretty much just fill my blogs with a transcript of them everyday and leave it at that.


That’s what I love about my job. It’s not the easiest of professions, but I do spend a lot of my working day laughing.


So I think I’ll just quote today’s thing that had me chuckling on the way home.

We’re in the studio and the students are working on filming a scene, and some members are in front of the camera chatting in between takes…

Student A : Aaah why did I do that? Aaah!

Student B : What?

Student A: I’ve just picked a scab off my elbow. It’s bleeding. Aaah!

Student B: Oh you’ve just reminded me. I’ve got one too, I’m going to pick mine off too.

Me: What are you doing? It’s like watching chimps, stop picking stuff!

Student B: Like your nose

Student A: …and eating it. That’s supposed to be good for you.

Student C: I heard that, it’s supposed to be good for your immune system

Student A; Yeah, that’s why you should share an ice-cream cone with a dog.

Oh there will be more from this lot…don’t you worry about that
