We were correcting (yet another) quiz and challenged our prof to accept an answer that was less than he wanted. Since no one had given the full expected answer, I said, "Ah, come on, won't you just give it to us?" And he did.
Just a few minutes later, we came to another question whose answer was "a lengthened vowel". So why did I blurt out, "Well, not just ANY vowel; it has to be the CONNECTING vowel." Which I had written, of course.
For some reason - extreme fatigue? Weariness? End goal in sight? - that set the class off.
"You want mercy - but you won't show no mercy!" "Blessed are the merciful (from our mornng devotions)!" Don't be "ruthless"!
The humor is no doubt escaping you, but imagine how refreshing to hear peals of laughter coming from our class!
And that day we certainly needed it as one more chair was vacated. We had lost another classmate.
Three more days...
God have mercy.
