Student 1: Teacher, what language is this?
Me: I have no idea… It looks like Finnish or Norwegian or something like that.
Student 2: Norwegian. Such a beautiful language. I would love to know it.
Me: Really, where did you hear it?
Student 2: I haven’t.
Student 1: Were you forced to marry Rui?
Me: What? Why would you say that?
Student 1: You are so young.
Student 2: What? She’s like 30.
Me: I’m NOT 30.
Student 2: You look like it.
Me: …
Student 1: She’s 25.
Student 2: okay.
Me: Okay… So? It doesn’t happen like that. You can’t force someone to marry.
Student 1: Well, you’re just so young, I thought your parents-in-law might have forced you.
Student 1: Hahaha he farted.
Me: Really, well…
Student 2: I would never do that to you!!
Me: Well… you could… I mean… just let it slip. That’s okay.
Student 2: That’s disrespectful, I would never do that.
Me: Not on purpose but…
Student 2: I NEVER do that to you. Not even as an accident.
(Student looking at my hair very seriously)
Student: You don’t have any dandruff.
Me: haha, well that’s good.
Student: Some people do…
Me… Yeah…
Student 1: Women can do more than one thing at a time.
Student 2: I’m a man and so do I. I can sleep and snore at the same time.
Student 1: Teacher, do you have a tissue?
Me: Sure, here.
Student 2: I’m hungry…
Me: Here, have some crackers.
Student 3: Can I have some gum?
Me: Sure, there you go.
Student 4: Wow, you have EVERYTHING.
Student 1: What’s the name of that guy that went around the earth to prove that it was round because everyone thought it was a square but then died before he even got there?

It’s fun. I do lose my temper sometimes. I was actually pretty mean to a student yesterday. She’s very disrespectful and rolls her eyes at me non-stop. I was trying to discipline some of her classmates who were being really bad and she was laughing to my face. I said “if you were more intelligent you wouldn’t laugh so much”. I pretty much obsessed over it and didn’t sleep because I was so cruel and felt so bad

I love this post. This was my regular life for so long. I did that post called Sh*t My Students Say and I wish that I would’ve started recording their crazy questions and comments from the time I started teaching. You should definitely make it a point to keep jotting these down; freaking hilarious. The last one about the square earth was magical.
