The Question Must be Wrong
In the middle of studying English Relative Clauses, he & I did
something silly like this:
Him : Cindy, please answer
the question number 23. Read it first.
Me : “The person _____
sitting next to me is very stupid.”
Him : So, the answer is?
Me : NO. The question is
not true. You’re the person who is sitting next to me right this minute. AND
YOU ARE NOT STUPID. YOU ARE VERY VERY SMART. I don’t like the question number
23. IT MUST BE WRONG. Remember the theory of Aristotelian syllogism? If the
premises are not true, the conclusion may not be true as well. I wanna skip the
question. It’s totally wrong. I don’t like incorrect question. It’s not valid.
He was laughing while
listening to what I was saying. Then he hugged me so tightly and we did nothing
but hugging instead of continuing the study. I ♡ him very much.
The Graveyard
Here is the chit chat I had with my private English teacher. He is
an American, FYI.
Him : So,
if you've been ill, why do you still go to work?
Me : I have
to get things done.
Him : So,
do you think you are irreplaceable?
Me : Well, I think yes.
Him : The graveyard is full
of those who think they are irreplaceable.
Me : LOL. No Mark, I’m not
being cocky. I’m being honest.
Him : So Cindy, the
graveyard is full of those who think they are not being cocky but being honest.
Me : *dissolving into
laughter*
Well, he’s very intelligent and smart and knowledgeable. He’s definitely
one of my favorites!
