I've wanted to keep a running journal of the things my students say but generally end up forgetting the little nuggets of joy before I get home at the end of the day. Last week, however, I was presented with two beauties that just wouldn't fade in my memory. The first...a classic... was a student trying to communicate that she had looked up extra information about a topic we'd been covering.
"I know this one, I know this.....I found it in the google"She said it with a straight face and I absolutely lost it. I love how far google has come as a word in the last however many years. Someone needs to put it to music...like our friend f*#k here.
The second may be one of the funniest things that has happened to me down here in Chile. During a discussion between two students, one had a killer comeback and absolutely crushed the first student's BS argument. This led to me bellowing out a heyooooo as well all laughed at the righteous smackdown. What blew me away wasn't the great english being exchanged, or the rare, true-humor in english. No, It was what happened next. The student with the smackdown...clearly on fire, looked at me as I was finishing my heyooooo and said,
"thunder, thunder, thundercats....heyoooo"Insert death by laughter.....by me....here
