| Today in my World History class I was teaching about European alliances before WWI and the purpose of an alliance. It went a little something like this. | |
| Me: | So an alliance is a close association of countries for a common goal. Do you think any of you guys have alliances today? |
| Student 1: | Our friends? |
| Me: | Yes, very good, your social circle definitely is one. |
| Student 2: | Would it be like Team Edward vs Team Jacob? |
| Me: | UM, WE ARE GOING TO LEAVE THAT OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM PLEASE. |
| *Class bursts out in laughter* |
