I'm teaching one of my younger classes. It's the final ten minutes and I want them to take a vocabulary note. So I write it out on the board, then tell them I want them to copy it twice.
Ss: "No teacher! one! one, one!" etc.
Me: "No, two times."
Ss: "One!"
Me: "What? three times?"
"No! one!"
"Four times?!"
"One!"
"Five times?! Are you crazy?"
Ss: [some hesitation] "Teacher, two!"
Me: "Ok, just two times."
Ss: "Assah." |

I make them write words 10 times, and if they are not so bad, sometimes 5 times.
I hear this kind of conversation a lot. |

| I thought it was funny. Maybe it's a sentimental "they're my kids" thing. |

Another good one is when they ask you what time is it and you always respond with 5 o'clock no matter what time it is.
Or when they ask you if you have a girlfriend, just stare at them intently and say 'I have many many many'
^ the girls in my class then responded 'ohhh teacher playboy' |
