Tales of Teaching English #4

Today was Wednesday, my busiest of days with K8-83. At one point, I had them split into groups and so one half of them faced the board and had to explain to their partner what the word on the board meant without saying the word. So one of the groups was made up of Wendy and Willy, and apparently there must be something going on with them, because when I said, "Wendy, turn so you're facing Willy." The entire class started giggling. At which point I was going to say, "My god, what are you, twelve?" until I realized that the majority of this class is in fact twelve, at which point I quickly changed the end of the sentence to "ten."
