Today, I joked with a pregnant girl in a state juvenile correctional facility where I work that eating a lot of candy would damage the unborn baby's teeth. Without batting an eye, she responded that she would simply "eat some toothpaste after the candy." FML

OP here. Yeah, I was joking, they aren't always the most sophisticated of jokes, but it gives one a sense of where the kid may or may not be coming from. The kid, unfortunately, was not joking, and I had to explain a few things to her. Thanx for the comments. For those of you who said stop joking around and do your job...it'd be a mighty dreary place if there was no humor (lame as it may or may not be). It IS a portion of our job. This post was mostly meant as a, "f" all our lives if this is what the future holds.

Come on people! It was an smart, awesome, somewhat contemptuous comeback to a lame joke. You guys are assuming she didn't get it just 'cause she's in juvie.

I'm with you, this makes me mad. A lot of criminals have a very high IQ, thus are generally highly intelligent. They have the ability to do a lot with their lives, if they choose to.

Was she in Juvi herself? Did she work there? How old? Did she have a fetish for toothpaste? These are the things you must ask yourself.

Seeing that she's in prison and pregnant as a teen I think it's safe to say that she's not too bright!

"Prison" and a "juvenile corrections institution" are two very different things. Please elaborate on how you believe they are identical. Young people are more apt to change and correcting wrongs in their life.
