Multiplication Tables, Girls, and Randomness

For the first nine weeks of the school year, I've been telling one of my students how important it is for him to know his multiplication tables. I told him that he couldn't do division without knowing his multiplication tables and that he couldn't do a lot of math without that knowledge. Finally, several weeks ago I asked him what would happen when a girl came up to him and asked him a question about the multiplication table. Wouldn't he feel dumb if that happened and he didn't know the answer?

My student walks into my room today and first thing he says to me is

Student: "OMG... Mr. Sam... she asked me!"
Me: what? Who asked you what? Did someone ask you out?
Student: "noooo... a girl asked me what 6x7 was.."
Me: LOL.. "what'd you tell her?
Student: "That I didn't know"
Me: I told you man! You should've listened to me!

I love it when random things I say come true :) Thank you Lord. Hopefully he'll be more motivated to learn his multiplication table now :)

Have a good day!
