Things my students say: Two are better than one.

In the lesson we were discussing different types of appliances and devices and also practicing relative clauses with 'that' or 'which'. The object was to think of an appliance or device and describe it without telling the group what it is, then people would guess. For example, it's an appliance that keeps your food cold. Answer: Fridge. Or refrigerator.

Student: I have one in my living room and my bedroom. It's a device that turns someone on.
Me:....giggle, giggle. Alright.
2nd Student: In your living room and bedroom?
Student: Yes. I have two. *big smile. A device that turns something on.
Me: Oh. Turns something on, or turns someone on?
Student: Mmm...turns something on.

No one guessed it. It was a remote control. When she first said it turns someone on and that she had two of them, I thought, well, you go girl.No shame.
