I love teaching!

The following is a conversation that I had with Tamara over Google Talk about one of my classes. I love teaching!

• me: today we were talking about names in my class and Dear asked what your full name was. i told him your middle name was Dawn and he asked if he could call you donkey as a nickname. it was Hilarious!
• Tamara: gasp!
  you told him no right?
• me: i told him yes he could call you donkey
  i love Dear
• Tamara: no!
• me: and i love you my little donkey
• Tamara: you basically are calling me an ass
• me: i know but he didn't realize that and it
  made it even funnier
• Tamara: way to teach your students to cuss
• me: i love language barriers
  you're the one whose name sounds like donkey
