Things my students say: Oral you glad I did it?

One of my private students showed up to class today with a big smile on his face. He told me he had a surprise for me. After failing to guess, he told me he had done his homework. Even written it down. He never does his homework, so it was a pleasant surprise.

After class, our conversation went a little something like this:

Student: Did you like my surprise?

Me: I did. Now do it again next week.

Student: I'm glad my work with my pen surprised you. Next time I'll surprise you with my oral...or is it better to say, I'll surprise you orally?

Me: *giggle. Just, 'I'll surprise you' is enough. I'd rather you not give it to me orally, *giggle giggle. Write it down please.

Maybe because it had been a long day, or maybe because it was Wednesday, or Hump Day, but my mind went straight to the gutter.
