Writer's Block

So my students are already cracking me up with some of the things they say, but one kid in particular really made me work to keep a strait face.....I was having my English class do their first journal entry. I gave them a question to answer for 5 minutes and then said they could free write for 5 minutes. One of my students came up to me, with a serious look of concern on his face and said, "I think I am having what you call.....writer's block..." Oh the way he said it and the concern and the simplicity of the journal assignment that was causing him stress. Trust me....a 7th grader telling you they have writer's block for their journal entry is funny stuff! It made my day anyway....
