Quote of the Week #1

If you've been tracking my blog at all, you know that my students are Colombian and English is their second language. This means that they often make mistakes using the language. A lot of times it takes everything in me not to laugh. I would like to share these blunders though, so I've decided to start a quote for the week. Fridays will be my day to post and my hope is that you'll at least crack a smile when you read them.


This is the first period after our 25 minutes break.

Student walks up to me and taps my shoulder: Miss (mease) I need to go to the bathroom.
Me: Not right now - go take a seat. 
Student in the most whiny voice possible: Meeeeeease. Please mease.
Me: We just got off of break, you had 25 minutes to take care of it then, go take a seat.
Student more whining : But mease, I reeeeeeally need to make pee. Just let me go make pee.

...I let him go. I know I shouldn't have, but I was afraid I might lose it laughing. "I really need to make pee." Priceless.
