Speaking Test Gems of the Day

This morning I had to do speaking tests with my lovely grade six classes.  And as always, they did not fail to deliver... in making me smile I mean.

The best mistakes, bless these kids, went a little something like this:

Me: Which season is your favourite?
Student #1: Yellow.

Me: Which season is your favourite?
Student #2: Cake.

Me: Which season is your favourite?
Student #3: Grandmother.

Me: What do you want to be (when you're older)?
Student #4: Puppy.

Me: What do you want to be (when you're older)?
Student #5: Different woman. (She meant diplomat. Bless. At least she was closer to being on the ball.) 

Now imagine trying to keep a straight face hearing those answers.  I was dying inside! I absolutely ADORE these kids! Can't wait to see what tomorrow's speaking tests bring...
