Entirely random conversation with a student.
Student: Miss, can I do a backflip off your wall?
Me: Have you ever done a backflip before?
Student: No.
Me: You realize that this floor is concrete, yes?
Student: Yes.
Me: And that closed head and spinal cord injuries are not exactly like stubbing your toe?
Student: I guess?
Me: Do you still think it’s a good idea to try a backflip?
Student: I never said it was a good idea. I just wanted to try it.
