Detention Duty

Student begins to whistle as he sweeps: Miss Custer. I'm whistling so that I have a good attitude while I'm being punished.

Me: Okay, good for you.

Student: Is it Paul or Peter who talks about suffering?

Me: Both?

Student: Which one says to be happy while you suffer?

Me: Well, I know Peter does. But I can also think of James right now who said, "Consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds."

Student (very seriously): Did James plagiarize?
