seven ATE nine!

My first day teaching my very own classes contained all of the following except one:
* "Dinosaurs became extinct because a giant jellyfish ate them all."
* "A man asked his wife one morning over coffee, please pass the sugar, honey... the next day they were having dinner and he said, please pass the pork, pig!" hahaha
* A light fixture flickered, smoked, then spit out fiery sparks
* I realized I say "ya'll" incessantly.
* I was given some of those yummy ginger chews to keep me busy
* Children knew the word 'patriarch' but not 'whale'
* I was smooth as vanilla pudding under all the pressure
* A student told the joke of 789 and explained why it is funny as her oral presentation.
* I found out "wearing a hat to class" was listed by Kevin's students as an example of bad manners in Korea after spending an hour wearing a hat in class.
* I was called "teacher" no less than fifty times: the students refer to us as only this, not miss so-and-so or mr. whatnot

Can you find the one that doesn't belong?

  1. I'm going with Vanilla pudding for 200 Alex.

    Now stop saying Ya'll! You're going to mess up a whole generation of Korean kids!
