Things Students Say...Part 1 (2015 Edition)

After introducing myself the following two situations happened in two different classes:

Class 1:
Student:  Teacher, do you have a boyfriend?
Me:  Yes, I do.
Student:  Is he Korean?
Me:   Yes he is.
Student:  When will you get married?
Me:  When he puts a ring on it.  (Pointing to my ring finger.)
Student:  You must marry him.

Class 2:
Student:  Teacher, when will you marry your boyfriend.
Me:  When he puts a ring on it.
Student:  He better hurry.  I want you to marry.

I really have no idea why they are so ready for me to marry the boyfriend.  The boyfriend and I have only been dating for 8 months.  Yes, I can see myself with him but man is it fast here.  Ha.  I am sure if I told them that I had met his parents, they would be all over the marriage train.  Because meeting the parents means marriage here.

Last year in my advanced English classes I taught the kids slang terms.  I honestly think it is the only thing they learned from class.  Ha.  Anyways, the following happened.

Student: Teacher, he is crazy.
Student 2: Teacher, I am bananas.  Yes.
