Random Conversation

N2: Stop that, you're annoying me.
N1: Stop what? I'm not doing anything.
N2: Yes you are! You just moved your drink closer to me and I don't like that!
N1: I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't do anything.
Dad: You know you did something. Your brother has asked you to stop and has told you what he doesn't like about your actions. You need to respect that.
N:1 I didn't do anything.
N:2 Yes you did!
Dad: Look, just ignore her; she's trying to get your goat.
N:2 Goat? I don't even have a goat! How can she be trying to get my goat?
N:1 Goat? That's hilarious! What am I going to do with a goat?
Dad: (shakes his head)

When Pigs Sneeze

The following is an actual conversation between two students in my class today (names are changed):

Pierre: Who made Swine Flu?
Erin: Nobody. It's a virus -- it's a flu.
Pierre: Who do you think made up the name Swine Flu, then.
Erin: Nobody made it up -- it is a flu that pigs get.
Pierre: Then why do they call it Swine Flu? Did someone just give it a funny name?
Erin: No, swine is another name for pig. Probably is like Latin or some other old language. We don't use the word anymore.
Pierre: Oh, so do you get it if a pig sneezes on you?
Erin: Sneezes on you? That's ridiculous! When is a pig gonna sneeze on you? You know they closed a school around here.
Pierre: Yeah, I know.
Erin: So do you think that pigs were running around the school? No!
