Actually, one of them told me that his name was "Alai Wah"! :o

what did you say?

A lot of my male students seem to be named "I heeeahh..." Don't know how they tell each other apart!

:o

What?

Como?

Que?

Huh?

Whazat?

You're teaching down south, where lots of kids are named "Ali."

And if you're teaching in Isaan you might get the odd kid named "eeyung wah" :o

Taoism: shit happens

Buddhism: if shit happens, it isn't really shit

Islam: if shit happens, it is the will of Allah

Catholicism: if shit happens, you deserve it

Judaism: why does this shit always happen to us?

Atheism: I don't believe this shit

I was starting to think "Arai wa" meant "eleven years," as that was the most common answer my M5ers gave to my question,

"How long have you been studying English?"
