Things My Turkish Students Say (either in Turkish or unintelligible English)

Have you ever seen Brad Pitt?

Have you ever seen a shark?

Teacher, your teeth are so white. How are they so white?

Me: I live in San Diego, in California.
Student: 619!
Me: How do you know that?!
Student: Smackdown

In regards to me on duty in the hallway during passing periods.
Student: You’ve been standing here for four hours.
Me: Yeah.
Student: You should walk around or you’ll get fat.

Student: What's AIDS?
Me: Uh, it's a disease. You will die from it because it makes your body not get better when you're sick.
Student: How do you get it?
Me: Uh...

Teacher, you're a book moth. You read so much.

(Written on the chalkboard): Teacher, just smile.

My two favorite words Turkish students say: Tamam, Hocam, Tamam (okay, my teacher, okay).

(Holding his stomach) Teacher, I have a headache.
