That episode brought me back to a scene in First Grade.
Characters:
Mrs. Griffin - The 'cool' first grade teacher. Young, new to the profession. Genuinely loving of every one of her charges (you can tell I have warm, fuzzy memories)
Matt - childhood friend, even though he used to always put tacks on my seat ... 'nother story
Scene: Mrs. Griffin's first grade classroom. Children talking loudly and, well, being first graders
Mrs Griffin: (shouting at the top of her lungs) I AM ABOUT TO BLOW MY TOP!!!
Matt: (jumping out of his seat, grabbing a jug of paste and handing it to Mrs. Griffin) Here you go.
Mrs. Griffin: (looking very frustrated, annoyed and now confused): What is this for???
Matt: You said you were going to blow your top. You'll need that to put it back on...
Mrs. Griffin: (using every muscle in her body to keep from smiling) Get back in your seat!!!!

Lo!
Just about every day, some kid does something I don't want to smile at, but I can't help it.
Perhaps reciting a bit of scripture would help:
"And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart." (Luke 2:19)
Someday, all of those episodes will be cherished diamonds.
