YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

I was subbing a special ed class of emotionally disturbed kids, when on e of them, I'll call him Brian, got up and started to wander around the room. I was told to be stern with him, and not let him wander. So, I walked over to him, and told him to sit down. He ignored me, so I got closer to him. "Sit down," I said. He stopped wandering, but didn't sit. I got closer, "Sit down," I repeated. He just looked up at me, almost daring me. I wasn't going to back down, so I got into his face, almost nose to nose, and said again very sternly, "Brian, sit down." He looked at me a moment then simply said, "Whoa, somebody needs a tic-tac." (breath mint) I nearly bit my tongue to stop from laughing.
