Cracked This Class

(Our class has just finished watching a movie about a child custody dispute:)

Student #1: “It didn’t seem realistic how she gave up trying to get custody in the end.”

Student #2: “Yeah. In the real world, they’d fight for years and neglect the kid, and he’d end up addicted to crack.”

Me: “Well, how many of you have divorced parents?”

(Half of the other students raise their hands.)

Me: “And how many of you are on crack?”

(There’s a brief, awkward pause.)

Student #2: “No one’s going to answer that one.”
