In some of my classes, I give a quick little weekly quiz, just to make sure the students are keeping up with the homework. This was from a first-year English conversation course–first-year university, I might add. We’d been doing a section that used mystery stories, so it had some crime vocabulary. She didn’t know the answer to number five, obviously.

Hey, if you don’t know the answer, bombard the teacher with cuteness!

Ah, I love this country.
