Overheard at Mercy Yes, this stuff was really said
By Grace Cink, Emilia St. Pierre, Sarah Seymour & Sam Strell
“It bothers me when a sneeze goes unblessed.” “When I had my youtube channel, shake it up a little bit was our thing. It was gonna be on our merch.” “Sometimes I walk into school a few minutes early just so I can turn around and go back to my car to somehow prepare myself for the day I’m about to have.”
“I’m sorry for my issues both physical and psychological.” —Mr. Oeschger
“Is Yale in Connecticut?”
"Did Ms. Dastoli just get a loaf of bread from that guy in his car?"
“Mrs. Durbois, is it true that Arkansas connects to Russia?”
“I set my alarm for 5:19 because it gives me more of a thrill than setting it for 5:20.”
“You don’t know what a verb is?” RESPONSE: “No.”
