Suprisingly, 'Lawyer' Didn't Come Up
To those interested in hearing my teaching adventures, I got a good one. I play a game with my jr. high kids that involves them writing down a definition of a fairly complex word of my choosing. Then we all read the definitions aloud, trying to guess the best one that's closest to the real definition. I'm amazed at these kids. For the little English they know, they choose their words carefully, thus offering a blunt and succinct definition. I gave them 'vampire' to define. The winner, young Saki. She wrote:

vampire: (n)
"No light. I like red water. I like girls."

Shit! I'm a vampire.
