Zeus’ Lesser-Known Child

(In my Latin class, we’re filling out a crossword puzzle with the names of Greek gods and heroes. My friend’s working on his crossword, and another student is half-working and also talking with his buddies.)

Student: *looking over at my friend’s paper* “Does that say, ‘Onions’?”

Friend: “‘Onions’?”

Student: “Yeah, ‘onions.’ Is that what it says?”

Friend: *just looking at him*

Student: *picks up my friend’s paper and takes a closer look* “Oh, it says, ‘Helios.’”

Teacher: “Sometimes I think this class period just shaves IQ points off.”
