What is your funniest parenting story?
There was a mom who was reading a bedtime story to her kids. She was so tired that she started mixing up the characters from different stories. The kids were confused at first but then they found it really funny. They started making up their own crazy story using all the mixed - up characters. It turned into a really fun family moment instead of a normal bedtime routine.
My neighbor has a really funny parenting story. She took her son to the zoo. The boy saw a giraffe and thought it was a huge horse with a long neck. He kept asking his mom if they could ride the 'funny - looking horse'. His mom tried to explain it was a giraffe but he was so convinced it was a horse that he got a bit upset when she said no to the ride.
What is your funniest scar story?
I have a scar on my leg from when I climbed a tree as a child. I thought I was a great tree - climber, but I miscalculated a branch and slipped. A twig scratched my leg deeply. It left a thin, curvy scar. Every time I wear shorts, it's like a little reminder of my over - confidence back then.
What's your funniest Vegas story?
My funniest Vegas story is when I saw a guy walking around with a parrot on his shoulder in one of the big casinos. The parrot kept saying 'Hit me' whenever someone was at the blackjack table. It was both strange and really funny.
Tell me your funniest teacher story.
Once, my math teacher was so excited while explaining a complex formula that he accidentally wrote on the wall instead of the blackboard. He didn't even notice until a student pointed it out and the whole class burst into laughter.
Classic Parenting Story
I recommend the two novels, Silent Confession and Lord of the Mysteries. Silent Confession was the work of Chinese writer Wu Qishi, who won the first place in Amazon's Best Book of the Year in 2014. The story was about the tragedy of a girl who had been overly expected by her parents and eventually committed suicide. Lord of the Mysteries was the work of a squid that loved to dive. It told a story in a world of steam and machinery. Both novels had fascinating plots and were suitable for reading about children.
What are the funniest moments in your ESL teaching stories?
One of the funniest was when teaching body parts. I asked a student to point to his nose. Instead, he pointed to his ear and then his eye, and finally his nose while giggling. Another time was during a pronunciation lesson. A student mispronounced 'banana' as 'bah - nah - nah' in the most comical way.
Tell me your funniest messed - up childhood story.
Well, I decided to make a 'potion' when I was a child. I mixed all kinds of things from the kitchen like vinegar, baking soda, and some spices. It made a huge mess as it started fizzing everywhere. And the smell was just awful. My mom was not happy at all when she saw the kitchen counter covered in this strange goo.
What made your my funniest online dating story so funny?
In my story, the other person's over - exaggerated description in the profile was what made it funny. They made themselves sound like a super - confident, world - traveling adventurer. But in reality, they were quite shy and had hardly ever left their hometown. The contrast was just too great.
Share a true parenting story.
Once, my friend was a very strict parent. Her son wanted to participate in a school play but she thought it would affect his studies. However, she noticed how sad he was. So, she finally let him. To her surprise, not only did his grades not drop, but he became more confident. This made her realize that sometimes kids need space to explore their interests.
Share your funniest online dating stories.
Well, once I matched with a guy who claimed to be a fitness enthusiast. His profile picture was super muscular. But when we met in person, he was a bit chubby. He said the picture was from 5 years ago. It was so unexpected yet hilarious.
Share your funniest first kiss stories.
Well, mine was really funny. I was at a school dance. I thought the moment was right for a first kiss with my crush. But just as we were about to kiss, the DJ played a really loud and goofy song. It made us both burst out laughing and then we just kind of smooched through the laughter. It was super awkward but also really memorable.
