A student came to me and confirmed that I was from New York, then we had the following conversation (or this is what I understood since she spoke in chinese)....
Rose: Yes, I am from New York
Student: New York Knicks, NBA right?
Rose: yup, why?
Student: the players are not very very good
Rose: oh no, we have great players
Student: maybe only one is really good
Rose: well we have many other teams in America that have good players, right?
Student: yes, thats true
Rose: how many good basketball players does China have? We have Yao Ming and ??? (she named another, so I prompted her and she named another)
In China, there are three good basketball players, at least New York alone has one
She held her head down, smiled and then burst out laughing because she knew i was picking on her... its one of those things where you have to be there, her facial expressions did it for me!
A student was doing homework in my class for another one of his classes, I caught him so I took away the book. After class, I gave a little speech and when he asked for the book back.... I tore out the page that he had written so he had to start over. He looked at me puzzled, said "thank you" and when I started laughing, he laughed...next time be more specific...do you want the book back with all the work you have already done or just the book?
