LInking work to home

There is a boy in one of the classes I teach who is quite a talker. As a matter of fact, he rarely stops. The good thing is that his talking is almost always related to the subject at hand. He's very bright, and has a lot to offer in an inquiry-based environment. Today, he just kept jabbering on and on, asking all kinds of questions about penguins, which so happens to be the theme for that group. Finally, after a long string of incessant talking and questioning, I turned to him, exasperated, and accidentally said:

"GAVIN, PLEASE STOP TALKING FOR A MINUTE!"

His name is Mohamed.
