Can you?

I get some crazy questions as a teacher. I can't always remember them. Yesterday I got one that I don't think I will forget for a while. It came from one of my 7th graders, a boy, either 12 or 13 years old (That will help the question out a little bit.) "Mrs. Bell, can you fart, pee, and burp at the same time?" Yes, you read that correctly. Now some would be offended at such a question. I, however, am not. I consider it a compliment that he would even ask. It means my students feel comfortable enough to ask me anything. It does make me wonder what is really going on in a middle school boy's head on a regular basis. When they look deep in thought are they contemplating a math problem or how something works... or are they wondering about the age old questions concerning bodily functions?

For those of you wondering my answer (if you weren't then don't read), I told him that I didn't know but I would try. I can burp on command, but the other two I can't do on command. So if I am ever in the situation where the first 2 are occurring, I'll try to burp. This, of course, made me the coolest teacher here.... hands down!

So.... can you?
