i laughed for about five minutes straight about that. that was fucking beautiful.

i'll never be able to show that one up, but one of my students wrote in his journal today - the subject was 'anger' - and his description of his emotions was -

"when i get angry, i get all dizzy and exploded!"

for the whole day i kept telling people i was exploded.

and if someone's lack of sense of humor results in that photo being taken off the board, i've posted it on my blog. i'm sure it's not copyrighted and it needs to be seen...

i was teaching my kids the difference beteween fruit and vegetables (mainly me naming types of fruit and types of vegetables). These kids are about 8 or so.. anyways i said a tomato was a Vegetable.. I had a discussion with coworkers on whether not this was right but, i decided to go with the vegetable aspect and one of my kids looks at me and says "teacher tomato no vegetable" and looks back down at his book.. i just laughed and gave him an extra star for it..

Some kids in the past would say about me, "Oh, �� " (dandruff smell)

Ok sure I have dandruff sometimes, but the smell of it?

From a co-worker:

Teacher:"What's your favorite movie?"
Student:"I like Bend Over Brothers!"

The student meant 'Band of Brothers'...

No real mistake other than grammar errors but it made me chuckle to know that I had earned the respect of my class of 14 and 15 year old boys who are all taller than me.

As I am writing something on the board:

Tommy: (whispers in Korean)

Puma: (whispering) Don't speak Korean. You will die. Teacher... she kill you.

Halarious. Some of those sentances seem too funny to be true though.
A common misspelling I think; I took this picture at a cafe:

I've been teaching at this elementary school for seven months, give or take, and though I only see most students for 40 minutes a week, I do see a difference in their vocabulary and confidence. I get such a kick out of seeing their sense of humour shining through their meagre English skills.
Last week, for example, a student cried out when I entered the room: "Nice to meet you!"
I replied "Nice to see you too."
He grinned and said "Nice to see you three."

Another little smart aleck greeted me on the stairs:
"Hello Kermo Teacher!"
"Hi," I answer, "how are you?"
Like most students, he's stumped by this question when it's asked out of class, so he glides by, saying "Goodbye, precious Kermo Teacher."
