We have a thing called DAQs in my class. DAQs are when FAQs are taken too far. Instead of just being Frequently Asked, they are added to the Don't Ask list. This list is reserved for those questions that you already know the answer to if you would just think for a moment. Questions like "Do I have to put my name on this?" or "Do we have to raise our hands?"

Today I was telling the students to raise their hands if they were done with a certain assignment when we discovered a new DAQ. Someone asked, "What do you mean by done?"

I just blinked. Then I asked, "What do you think done means?"

Sometimes you have to laugh, or you'll cry.
