Which church? (priceless student dialogue)
(As I'm packing up my stuff and leaving the classroom, the next class, taught by a different teacher, starts coming in. Two ninth-grade girls enter together and exchange the following dialogue:)

Girl #1: Can you quick help me with some questions before the test?

Girl #2: Sure.

Girl #1: OK... um, first, what are the two churches again?

Girl #2: The Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.

Girl #1: OK, and... which one was right?

Girl #2: [*pause*] Uh... um... which one was... right?? I don't... get what you mean... I mean, it depends on...

Girl #1: You know [*waves her hand at an imaginary map*]... Which one was the one on the right?

Maybe that's why it's called the Eastern Orthodox Church.

But if she'd said that in the first place, we might've avoided having such a fun exchange!

Reminds me of Johnny Cash song - "The One On the Right" - I think there's a youtube video of it someplace.
