a master of sass

One of my students moved north to the Chicagoland area earlier this school year, and was back yesterday to visit.

It was wonderful to see him. He's got this simultaneously hilarious and poignant manner of speaking, and he can really tell a great story.

Apparently, Oprah and Tyra were at his school recently to talk to the students about Rhianna and Chris Brown. Not surprisingly, he was one of the students chosen to be on the show. Before the filming, however, he was backstage talking with Oprah about the incident. He was making the argument that men are sometimes victims of abuse in relationships, too, when Tyra interrupted him to disagree with something he said. And he said, and I quote, "Um, nobody's talking to you, Tyra!"

He decided that he doesn't like Oprah or Tyra anymore because he thought they were "real," but after that they wouldn't let him be on the show anymore.
