    At the end of the day, I’ll ask my students if they have any questions. No hands will go up, I’ll act a little disappointed and say, “You know, I’m always asking if you all have any questions, and no one ever asks what my favorite dinosaur is.” and I just let it hang in the air.

    Without fail, a hand will slowly go up, and I call on them. “What’s your favorite dinosaur?” and I respond immediately with, “That doesn’t count, it wasn’t organic.” and then I kick them all out of class.

      The correct favourite dinosaur is triceratops (if dealing with small children) or archaeopteryx for kids old enough to know that birds are raptor dinosaurs.
