1 - "I'm in big trouble."
2 - "why, what happened?"
3 - "I never care about my wedding anniversaries."
4 - "Why?"
5 - "Because I forgot about my wedding anniversary."
Umm, shouldn't lines 3 and 5 be switched?
Very strangeeee. |

If you switch 3 and 5, it makes less sense. |

How so?
Why are you in trouble?
Because I forgot my wedding anniversary.
Why? -(...did you forget?)
(Because) I never care about my wedding anniversary.
Makes sense to me. |

Take it for its self value. I was looking at it for a while. Don't imply anything. |

That's like applying a psychoanlytical critical reading to an Oscar Wilde play.
The original post was a funny spin on a dialogue that was weak no matter what you did with it. I laughed out loud when I read the first post. More or less sense? Hogwash and filibuster. In this case, you switch 3 and 5 and it's funnier. That's all that matters, that's all the sense that can be made of it.
I would rather not teach it, but you know how it goes... |

At least she said "good for your health" rather than "good for health". |

I don't know? I wasn't really thinking about teaching although I teach students that every adult in Canda is a volunteer firefighter.
They're like, "Keureyo?"
I'm like, "English!" |

| I'm from Canda. Do you know where that is? No, not Canada. Canda. It's a small island-country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. |
