Students that make me shake my head

Today during class, one of my little ones came up to ask me for some tape. I asked what he needed the tape for and he pointed to his shirt. There was a neat little slit in the front of his shirt that had undoubtedly come from the curious misuse of his scissors. When I asked if he had cut his shirt, he hesitate before responding, "Yes. But actually, this has never happened before. Every other time I put my shirt in my scissors, nothing happened." I explained that I didn't think the tape would help his shirt at this point. He stood there with his innocent, big eyes and asked, "What can I use?" I chuckled, and said, "Well, I guess we could staple it together." (I teach the TAG class so they usually get my sarcasm.) He paused for a bit, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Sure." Taking the stapler, I held the gap in the fabric together and stapled the slit shut. As soon as I finished he said, "Oh no! Take it out! At least the tape is invisible. My mom will see the staples!"
