Things My Students (Relatives) Say
While back to school shopping…
Grandmother of Student: So you teach English, I hope you’re hard on them.
Me: Yes ma’am I am. Have a nice day.
Grandmother of Student: You too, probably your last for awhile.
Things My Students Say
Me: This is a picture of my daughter.
Male Student: No its not, you already tried that joke. Plus you didn’t include her in your about me on the first day. See I do pay attention in class.
