oh, fake homonyms

Haiku and nature

ME: what do these things have IN COMMON? what does COMMON mean?
BOY: COME ON!!!!
BOY 2: (korean) why does she keep telling us to "come on"?

ME: "Gloom" Who knows what GLOOM means?
BOY: guuruum (구룸-cloud)

GIRL: teacher, i am done haiku
ME: you're missing one syllable here, this is only 4
GIRL: no, I LIKE EN-GEUL-ISH
ME: english is NOT 3 syllables

Jeremy-don't feel bad about being called "ajussi"
i got my new school ID card w/these photoshopped headshots (apparently this is normal?)

STUDENT 1: (playing with my ID) this doesn't look like you teacher
ME: oh? why not?
STUDENT 1: the picture is very pretty, you are not even wearing any makeup today
(the following day)
STUDENT 1: (knocking on my open door) teacher?
ME: yes?
STUDENT 1: oh, i didnt recognize you because you're wearing makeup today
