(This happened in a ninth grade US History class between the teacher and one of my classmates who was known for ignoring the lessons and causing trouble.)
Teacher: “So, the Civil War was the deadliest war in American history.”
Classmate: “What about World War II? 12 million people died.”
Teacher: “Many more than 12 million people died in World War II, but not all of them were American.”
Classmate: “What about the Big Bang?”
Teacher: *incredulous* “[Classmate], no one died in the Big Bang. Please don’t ask questions unless you’re serious about them.”
Classmate: *quietly, to himself* “…dinosaurs.”
