A student walked into my classroom this morning while I was setting up. He is actually Gus’s student, but he likes asking questions and I guess Gus was busy or something because he came to me.
He walked up to the board and wrote the word “oasis.”
“Yes?” I said.
“Bond Jim?”
“James Bond?”
“No,” he said.
“Is it a person?”
“No. Bund Jom.”
“I don’t know what that means.”
He tried again.
“Band. Gym.”
“Gym Class Heroes? Are you talking about the Gym Class Heroes? I think you’re thinking of the Gym Class Heroes.”
“No.” He took up the pen and wrote Band Jam.
“Oh!” I said. “Jam band!”
“Sorry, yes. Jam band. Oasis is…jam band, yes?”
“No,” I said.
“I think it is,” he said.
“OK,” I replied.
And then he left.

Fun fact: the question that student asked me right before walking over to Jon's classroom was "do you know about crossbows?"
