Funny Co-Teacher's Comments

Last week, after helping me with my bank information, another danced around and laughed, "I know your PIN and your ID number, I'm stealing your identityyyyyyy!!"

Hahahahaha. Oh wow! She must be a lot of fun 

My co-teacher dropped me off at my apartment one evening and was going to come to my apartment after he had parked his car. After waiting around 20 minutes he finally arrived:

CT: I couldn't find a f***ing space!!!
me: erm..... ok....
CT: yes, so diffucult to f**k around this town!
me: erm.........
CT: Is it the same in England? Difficult f***ing? When driving?
me: Ohhhh PARKing? I see!

I'd put that one down to me only having been there a few days and not being able to understand Konglish pronunciation  :D

"Good morning! You look so nice today--like a real woman!"

"If you hike in the spring time and take a deep breath, you can smell many beautiful things. If you hike in the autumn, you will also smell things you can only smell during that time of the year--but perhaps you will not because you are not Korean like me."

"Oh it's ok...his dog ate his homework"

Having tea with co-teachers. One is attempting to talk to me about Thomas the Train. I don't know why she brought this up, but I just went with it. Oh, Thomas the Train? I f'n love him!
She is having trouble with her next statement, so she employs the use of her I-phone translator. The phrase she shows me after a minute of internal debate:
"Swells up like a turkey cock."
??????
Then to boot, she shows the phrase to all the other teachers at the table and they all begin repeating it out loud and decide it makes sense and belongs in the conversation about Thomas the Train!
I just agreed and moved on!

Her:  "One of the students has Tuberculosis so be careful."

Me:  "What are the chances of developing cholera or drowing in the river?"

Her:  *blank stare* "Don't be weird."

Me: *wincing after spicy meal* "Ughhh... my stomach hurts..."

Her: "What's wrong? You can't make a deuce??"

 :-\


Me (to a student): "You have a job? What do you do?"

Student: *confused look then lengthy chatter in Korean to my co-teacher*

Coteacher (to me): "Picks up cow shit."

"every day you are more handsome.  when first meeting you, you were very ugly to me."
...thanks ct...

When teaching him some idioms...
"I think Americans say, "Stick your nose in other people's business," because their nose is so big and it gets in the way. Yes, that is why."

this isn't consider as a comment from my ct....
but my 4th grade ct was reviewing and previewing new vocabulary words from lesson 4. she told and wrote on the board "How tall are you?" and explained it in korean to the students. then she goes and write "How WEIGHT are you?" and said it... i had to yell across the room and stop her. LMAO!

asks me if i have seen " Silence of the sheeps " meaning silence of the lambs ~~ giggle giggle

Teaching my co-teacher that sh*t is not a direct translation for poop and should not be used casually/in front of students.
That was a looong talk.

Oh yeah, I just remembered another one:

One time, I remember a previous 6th grade co-teacher of mine was teaching a class in another classroom (in addition to being the 6th grade English teacher, she was also the 6th grade Ethics teacher at the time), so I was all by myself in the English classroom teaching a class (it was 5th grade, I think). One 6th grade boy came and was looking for my 6th grade co-teacher; he had some kind of document that my co-teacher needed to sign. Well, since she wasn't there, I told the boy what classroom she was in, so that he could go find her there and have her sign the thing he had. Later, when I saw my co-teacher, I told her that a student had been looking for her and had something for her to sign, and that I told him where to find her, so I asked her if she saw him (as in, if the boy came to the classroom where she was teaching her Ethics class and had her sign the thing he had). My co-teacher just replied, "Oh, really? I don't know!" I remember thinking confusedly, "Umm...what do you mean, you 'don't know'? You either saw him or you didn't...it's 'yes' or 'no'..." It made me realize she didn't understand exactly what I had said, since her answer was "off" -- not a possible answer to the question I had asked. Yeah...kind of awkward.   

On a Monday, co teacher "You have no classes tomorrow, because of............'
                      me              "nice, thanks for letting me know"
On a Tuesday, co- worker " why are you in the teachers room? you are late! its teaching time!"
                      me            " i thought there was no classes today? I dont have anything ready"
                      co-worker  "  O really, why did you think no classes today?"
                      me             " you told me that yesterday"
                     co-worker        " no i didnt"

And another time, one year my previous co-teacher was teaching 4th grade English, and she was teaching the kids about body parts, so she drew a cartoon-like lion on the board and wrote the words of each body part with a line connecting the body part to the right word. Well, instead of writing "mouth," she wrote "mouse" instead. Oy.

                      me             " you told me that yesterday"
                     co-worker        " no i didnt"

My current co-teachers do that to me all the time -- they'll tell me something one day, and then the next day or some other day, they completely forget about it. When I remind them, they completely deny it and go, "I didn't say that!" Very frustrating, not to mention annoying...ugh.  ::)

CT: "It's Sports Day next week. I want you to come."
Me: "Okay, sure." (Smiling, making a joke) "As long as I don't have to run!"
CT: "You can run."
Me: "But I don't want to run." (still smiling)
CT: "But you can."

Um. Ok. Think I'll turn up in heels and a skirt, just in case ;)

We were watching Tom n Jerry in class and the word ***** comes up.
Then my male coteacher comes up to me and asks me if ***** is a girl cat. I just tell him it means cat and that it also has other meanings like coward and that he shouldn't say it.
It was really awkward.

In the winter, after coming to class and taking off my coat, my CT asked me, "Don't you get cold when you take off all of your clothes?"
It took me a moment to realize she meant coat, not clothes. At least, I think she meant coat . . .

At school I wear a name tag with my picture on it, one day a 5th grade boy asked me if my picture was "photoshop?". I gave him the "are you kidding me?" look and he asked seriously. Apparently, in person I look like a slob. It gave me a good laugh.

CT: Tomorrow at 6pm we will have a meeting about summer camps
Me: Ok, what time is the meeting?
CT: What meeting?
Me: The meeting about camp...
CT: There is no meeting
Me: Ohh...OK
CT: OK, i will pick you up tomorrow for the meeting
