27 books or Emma's revealed talent?

After we had taken the test, we were going over our cards, and I wanted to let the students talk and get up (but in an organized and structured way....chaotic movement and noise in a classroom make me nervous!). So I told the kids that I would let them each stand up in front of the class and say in a strange voice "There are 27 books in the New Testament." My idea for this was that it would be repeated 7 times by them, plus the time I said it, plus the time everyone said it together. I was unaware of Emma's talent at a particulary funny, and quite undescribably strange voice, in which she told us about the 27 books of the New Testament. It was very, very, very funny, but it was so funny that I'm not sure if the kids will remember there are 27 books in the New Testament or just that Emma can have an southern-alien-chipmunk accent when she speaks :)
