confessions of a FOB

the conversation paused
she turned and looked straight at me
her brow furrowed slightly in an expression of wonderment
with a most serious inquisitiveness she asked
“what is juicy fruit?”

  del.icio.us this!

    This reminds me of a conversation I had two days ago with one of my ESL students. We read a passage in a book where a man killed a puppy. And she asked me how that was possible. I told her that he probably drowned it or broke its neck or something.

    And she was like no no, you can’t kill puppies, it’s just not possible.

    (raises eyebrow)

    After a few more confusing lines, we figured out that a puppy wasn’t actually a doll (which she had previously been 99% sure about) but actually a baby dog.
