Quotes of the Day

I just overheard one of my female students (grade 11) saying this as she was reading a short story I had passed out:

"There are made up hillbilly words in here. "ARE-KANSAS??!" What the heck is that?? How are we supposed to read this slang?"

The student next to her says: "It's Ar-can-saw. I used to be confused by it too. It's its own state."
