The other day, my students were taking a test. One of my student's desk was really close to mine, and I had to get to my desk for something. I couldn't fit through the space left between my desk and the student's so I jokingly said, "Can you pull your desk back? I'm skinny, but I'm not that skinny." The student laughed and pulled his desk back.
Immediately after I said that the student next to him said, "Ms. Caprini, you ain't skinny," and looked at me half laughing.
I had to stop for a moment and look at her with a "what?" expression.
She then repeated, "You ain't skinny."
I wasn't really sure what to say at that point, so I just scrunched my face together in surprised confusion, shaking my head, saying "Uh...."
"Well you're not," she said. "You ain't fat. But you ain't skinny neither." Then she paused, and very matter of factly said, "You fit."
....Right. Well, world, there you go. I'm fit.
