Laughing at a Funeral

Today we went on a field trip to the Holocaust Museum. Most of the kids were well behaved but those who weren’t . . . Allison and one of her friends were singing in the museum. Arome, Tasha, and Kesha decided that this would be a good place to pick up guys. Mr. Burns caught them getting some guy’s telephone number. When we got back to school, we talked about the museum. Arome said that it didn’t really have much of an impact on her because she didn’t know any of the people in the Holocaust. Tasha was mad that people told her to be quiet when she and her friends were laughing. I asked her how she would feel if someone who was close to her died. Then, I asked her how she would feel if someone was laughing at the funeral.
"Ooooh, I would steal him in the face, Mr. Moore," she said.
"Well?" I thought. These kids have no idea how inappropriate they are.
