"We don't need no education..." (Pink Floyd)

Because I love you...

2nd grade reading class, trying to form compound words by matching up short words from two lists:
Britney: "Camp… house?"
Me: "That's not really a word; try the others."
Britney: "Camp... book?"
Me: "Not quite."
Britney: "Camp... time?"
Me: "Nope."
Britney: "Fire?"
Me: "Yes! Now, try putting it together."
Britney, proudly: "Firecamp!"

1st grade ESL:
Me, showing the class a safety pin: "Have you ever seen a baby's diaper pinned with one of these?"
Darlene, dubiously: "I think that was back in the eighty-hundreds."

And finally,
Me: "How many aunts do you have?"
Amy: "I have three aunts!"
Charlie: "I have three sisters!"
Don: "I have pants!"
