things that amaze my students

for the first week, i'm assigning my students groups and having them write down ten questions that they want to ask me. after they have written the questions, they stand up, say their english name and ask me. these are the answers that cause the most stir.

i only have 3 people in my family, my mom, my dad, and me.
i am 24. "so young" they scream. i try to remind them they are 13 and 15 respectively.
i like mapo dofu.
i speak a little chinese, but it's very bad. [in chinese]
writing my chinese name up on the board.
i am single.
i like both chinese and american women.

i think you can start to imagine the types of questions i'm up against here.
