To be unmarried...

We had to laugh at a kid in class today.

We are talking about one of my favorite topics in my Population Geography Class today and this kid raises his hand and the following ensues:

Kid: I'm sure you've heard of this, heck, you've probably studied it already. But have you noticed that when New York loses power for a week, nine months later women are popping out babies?

Class: *stares at him, with mouth gaping*
Me: *trying not to giggle*

Kid: I mean, have you seen a connection with natural disasters or something like that and an increase in population? Did people have babies during the black plague?

Snotty guy that makes too many comments: We're here! (Implying that YES, people did have babies during the black plague.)

Teacher: Goes into lengthy discussion about how, really, those things to not have such a huge affect on population. Not when it comes to trends and transitions.

Kid: And what about when war is over? I mean, with all the soldiers coming home?
Me: *trying not to snort*
Class: *faint giggles and guffaws*

Snotty guy: It's called the baby boom.
Teacher: Are you married?
Kid: No.
Teacher: Obviously.
me: *dying*
class: *mild laughter*

hehehe
