A Day in the Life of an ESL Teacher

I can't believe it's December already. I have been wanting to write so many blogs, but I just haven't done it yet. So, today I will start.

I've been wanting to tell you all some things that my students say that make me laugh so hard, so I've been keeping a little post it that I take with me to each class. It says things like "A nightengale's sister is a night club." Or some of the students telling me that Teaven had a friend who was an alien. Or one of my favorites, I came into class, and my students asked me if I knew that Teaven had another wife in America. I could see their little smirks. They were trying so hard not to laugh, so I played along. Apparently, her name is Sally. haha. However, last week, I had an experience that tops everything on that little post it.

My 7 o'clock class is filled with middle school boys who act just like middle school boys. Towards the end of class, one of those boys says, "Teacher, do you and Teaven teacher kiss?"
I replied, "What?" and since I wanted that to end quickly, I said, "Of course, we're married."
Much to my surprise, the next question out of his mouth, "You and Teaven teacher deep kiss?"
So, I tried to avoid answering that question by pretending I didn't know what he was talking about. "What? What's a deep kiss?"
Then, all the other boys entered the conversation by sticking their tongues out and wiggling them around, and I heard many responses like, "You know, when you swallow their tongue." or "When the tongues are fighting."I was laughing very hard, and as they started to persist, I felt that dreaded heat coming into my cheeks. In my head, I begged the heat to stop, but before I knew it, I heard "Teacher, you're red! Your ears are red!" If you have ever blushed before, you should know what happens when someone points it out, it gets even redder. I told them that the only reason I was getting redder is because they were talking about it. We were all laughing, but I think I learned my lesson. Ignore dumb questions and keep with the lesson. lol
