    When asked what causes thunder, my 3rd grade teacher’s response was “it’s clouds bumping together.” One of the students tried to correct her and got in trouble.

      My second grade teacher claimed multitasking is impossible

      Screw you Ms. McDaniels, I’m a GM Starcraft player. How’s that for multitasking??

        Working in IT a customer came to my cubicle with his laptop issue that caused him to stop work. Of course I was busy but I started working on his laptop also.

        He tells me multitasking makes you inefficient. At the time, I just said ok.

        Thinking about it more I should have given him his laptop back and told him I would help him when I was free.

      It’s more like clouds being torn apart by the wind. That’s a cooler story and young children would still understand it.
