I think I love my students

I will be simply writing out a conversation that was had in class today. Though slightly inappropriate, too valuable not to repeat.

These are my favorite students. They are two 17 year old boys. And their English "pretty sucks"

Adam: "Teacher do you like THE Michael Jackson?"
Me: "yeah, he's cool"
Ian: "Adam can do his moonwalking"
Me: "wow, can I see?"
(Adam gets up and then shows me the moonwalk and turns and does a very Michael Jackson move....if you get my hint)
Me: "not bad....."
Adam: "Ian can also do some"
Ian: "no, I can't."
Adam: "yes you can"
Ian: "no"
me: "please Ian?"
Adam: "See? PLEASE Ian? Be a Gentlman!"
Ian: "GENTLEMAN DON'T DO THIS" (precedes to do a very Michael Jackson move"
Adam: "You aren't a gentleman, you are a playboy"
Ian: "Go to hell"
Adam: "Go to the hill?"
Ian: "GO TO HELL"
Adam: "I don't get it..."
Me: (trying not to pee my pants laughing)

Me: "Okay, stop. What do you guys want to be when you grow up?"
Adam: "terrorist"
Me: "Tourist?"
Adam: "No, terrorist"
Me: "that is not a job"
Adam "does it? Did it?"
Me: "what?"
Adam: "Teacher, do you like your body?"
Me: "what? .... Yes"
Adam: "I don't"
Me: "WHAT?"
Ian: "ADAM! Ni shuo Laoshi wo bu xi huan ni de shen ti!!!"
Adam: "I MEAN, I DON"T LIKE MY BODY"
Me: (laughing over the desk)

(10 minutes later, I notice Ian is falling asleep...... going, going, and then GONE. I give him two minutes and then I knock on the desk. He doesn't wake. I knock REALLY loud, and he jumps out of his slumber and says)

Ian: "I had a dream!"
Adam: "about your girlfriend?"
Ian: "shut up"
Me: "okay, pay attention"

(1 minute later, Ian starts a musical type knocking sequence on his desk)

Adam: "what are you doing?"
Ian: "it was in my dream"
Adam: "and your girlfriend?"
Ian: "Go to hell"
Adam: "go to the hill?"
Ian: "GO TO HELL, GO TO HELL"
me: "DON'T SAY THAT!"
Ian: "But I am filled OF ANGER."
Ada: "I don't get it...."
