Student scratching his arm in the lunchroom : "I've really got eczema bad."Me: "It looks like you do!"
Student continuing to scratch: "It really gets really, really bad every time I wet the bed...."
Me: "Whoa, whoa, whoa.... remember about sharing too much information."  (We've discussed the topic of 'Too Much Information' before.  On more than one occasion.  On more occasions than I have fingers.)
Student still scratching: "Oh yeah, yeah.  Ok.  My eczema gets really bad every time I go number one in my bed."
Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to know what happens when he swallows too much gum.  For some students, there are absolutely no secrets.  None.
