On this week's vocabulary quiz was the word "Quell": To put an end to; to subdue.
One student interpreted the definition a bit more literally. When eating crabs in Maryland, we hit them with hammers or smash them on the table. I assume this is what she was imagining when she wrote this very different sentence:
"Every summer at my grandma's, we sit outside to quell our crabs."
