for the vocab word "blacksmith"...

"A blacksmith's rival is a whitesmith."

funny, but - if you were to use your imagination... if a blacksmith works with metal, what does a whitesmith work with? white gold? plutonium? cocaine?

same class, different kid, for the word "palm"

"OH MY GOD," Jesus cried, "my palm is broken!"

it's been a while since i've seen a "funny things kids say" thread. rock the house, folks.

The best laugh I had today was when a kid who couldn't read well saw the word "underpants" and said, "umbrella pants."

[uberscheisse]

i have one kid who, while a good writer for his level, simply cannot get it through his head the placement of subject and object in a sentence involving the preposition "in".

it's been a few weeks, so for every error where he smacks his forehead in shame, i make him draw a picture of the wrong sentence.

"there is a pond in a frog"
"the sleigh is in santa claus"
"the hospital is in the doctor"

one day he'll get the point.

Here are a few. These are all from writing assignments online, and a lot are probably from adults:


In a computer game, you will have to manage a group of slacker employees at a reproduction shop. (It was a translation, and should have been "copy shop.")

Sometime, some testes will be come to them.

This is the incontinent truth that we don't even feel like thinking about.

I work more than 40 hours a week, take an evening course. Meanwhile, my bone is growing.

I stole the chickennuggit from my roommate. While I fled from him I choked on chicken. (another translation)

There is a small garden in their back side. (a photo caption of a garden behind someone)


Today was raining. I don't like rain so much.
Because I feel not so good about that day's humidity.
My jeans are wet. My bag and pipe is wet, too.

There are foreshore. We caught small crap. My children played so hard. But there was not many crap.

Anyway, i can be a person who kills two births with one stone in the library. (just ew)

I like it when students enjoy their own silly mistakes. It's a big step to gain a sense of humor in a new language. I had a student today who insisted for several minutes that "painting the chicken" is a household task, while all of the other students were DYING with laughter. She finally realized that she was looking for the word "kitchen."

Grade 6 student (female) using the vocabulary word "contemplatoin" in a sentence:

I contemplation and think if I should go to buy c*ck, but I might get wet.


I think she meant "Coke".

[mnhnhyouh]

Grade 6 student.

Ethics is the think we need to have.

I thought he meant "thing" but he told me he wanted "think" I then realised he did understand the word.

From my director, so it doesn't quite count, but it's pretty funny...

Out of nowhere, just after I started the job:

Her: "Do you like c*ck?"
Me: "Um... WHAT???"
Her: "Do you like c*ck? There were a lot of c*ck bottles in your recycling."
Me: "Ohhhhhh... yeah, I like Coke."

I have a note from another teacher in my office. I will try and find it tomorrow morning, and I will type it verbatim. A beer to the person who can tell me why she wrote it (cause I know), and what it means (cause I have no friggin' idea).

[poet13]

Found it....

Dear, XXXXX Teacher.
The help plentifully become even the place where I study in good strong will, but until the futures it gives, from Thank you. Cannot do well English many great disaster it does not share, but when it sees the teacher who always dawns the force is born.

Word for word. Anyone want to have a go at translating?

[Wrench]

Its a naver translation nothing more they didn't even attempt it themselves.
