...house. What?!? One of my young learners interrupted me during the class. I was surprised by what she said. I am not sure if I am going to be insulted. The conversation goes like this. Student: 'Teacher, you are a big bear.' Me: @#%$ Student: Let's have a role play teacher. You will be a big bear and I will be a small cat. Me: Uhm, I do not like a big bear. Student: Why not? Me: Because I am not a domesticated mammal. Let's get back to our lesson. She was so into it, but I cannot do this while having a class online. Besides the point, I am not a clown for her to play with. Would like to be a domesticated animal? If yes, what would it be? Image Credit: i.pinimg.com

I think she wanted some fun. I wouldn't like to be an animal

Perhaps she does. I do not like to pretend so it didn't work for me.

I'd like to be a bear. Bears are lovely animals.

They look like a huggable creature.

She has a good imagination. I think a dog. I've always admired how they accept you unconditionally.

I also do like dogs. They can recognize their names easily than cats.

This is so funny which grade are you teaching ? I'd be some strong kind of bird I guess.

Indeed. There is always a time for fun but not in my class.

A big lion or cougar that can lie around all day and do nothing.

I like the idea of a lion roaring while commanding the other wild animals.
