Kid: ‘No, a boy.’
Me: ‘Haley’s a girl’s name.’
Kid 2: ‘No, it’s not.’
Me: ‘Fine.’
Kid: ‘Oh, teacher, you and Haley teacher, together, love.’
Me: ‘Um…no.’
Kid: ‘Do you have boyfriend?’
Me: ‘Yes.’
Kid: ‘Is he Korean?’
Me: ‘No, he’s Canadian.’
Kid: ‘Oh, Haley teacher too! Oh, teacher, boyfriend change. Canada. Canada. Boyfriend change!!!’

Kid: ‘Think about it.’
Me: ‘OK.’

Kid: ‘Oh teacher, bad habit!’

Kid sitting in front of him: ‘Hit him!!’

At pub quiz, answering a question regarding who sings the song that was just played:
Me: ‘Kelly Rowland.’
The Canadian One: ‘From X Factor?’

Me, upon receiving a text, to The Canadian One: ‘Ou, Ursula and Amy invited me over on Saturday to watch Magic Mike, eat pizza and drink vodka. I’m in!’
Pause.
Me: ‘Magic Mike is the stripper movie.’
Pause.
Me: ‘I don’t think they actually appear naked in the movie. I think it’s just about a dude who is a stripper.’
The Canadian One: ‘It’s OK. I don’t think stripper Mike is gonna jump outta the TV and rape you.’
