When the things you say to students bite you in the ass

Yesterday was the staff vs. students basketball game at the middle school. There is something about a white basketball jersey that just does not flatter a middle-aged teacher's body. Anyway. I was fortunate enough to beg out of participating, but I did go and watch a little. One of my students asked me why I wasn't playing and I said that I didn't know how to play basketball and he says with the most possible sincerity:

"That's OK, just try your best!"

He has a point. Dammit.
