Two sweet, well-mannered, easygoing boys from my 5th period class got in a fight in the cafeteria today, just before my class. The rest of the class was AMPED when they came into my room, and I was shocked that D. and A. fought, so I was dying to find out the details, but clearly the right teacher move was to try to distract the kids into doing physics work instead.
Later I asked the principal what the story was, and I laughed and laughed. Which was probably unprofessional. Oops.
Apparently D. was telling his friends at lunch about the vein that pops out of his forehead when he is angry. The other boys wanted to see it, and D. said the thing that makes him angriest is when people talk trash about his family. So T. said something about D's mom, and it didn't work - no vein.
Then A. chimed in with some other comment about D's mom, for purposes of the vein experiment of course, and D. got so mad that he punched A. in the face. Obviously A. then punched him back, and so on, until they were rolling on the floor fighting.
This is the most hilarious fight story I have ever heard.
The obvious two remaining questions, to which I may never know the answers, unless I abandon all professionalism and ask T. for the scoop tomorrow:
1. What did A say?
2. Did D's vein pop out before he threw the punch?
