Since unstructured time is awful for me I usually teach summer school. This summer myself and my co-worker are reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". One of the vocab words is curtsey.
Yesterday when my co-teacher asked what the definition of curtsey is, one of our students answered, "It is when a woman greets you by lifting her skirt..."
I had to walk out of the room.
I haven't had a student inadvertantly say something so funny since I had a dyslexic student (while reading Kon-Tiki) whiff on the pronunciation of Knut Haugland's name.
