During Art class I walked to the back of the room to find two students, a boy and a girl, painting each others' arms. My presence caused them to stop and everyone around them to start giggling.
Me: What is going on here?
Whisky (Yes, that is his name): He paint she. She paint he! Hahahaha.
Nammon: Mai chai! (No in Thai) He paint her. She paint him!'
All the students: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Me: Is there anything else wrong with his sentence?
Grace: PaintED, PaintED!
Me: Right, he painted her. She painted him. Now go wash off the paint.
Whisky hold his hand up to his face. And then proceeds to make a joke. Except only Thai people get it. Apparently, watch and wash sound exactly the same. And it is amusing.
Whisky: Teacher I wash my hand! I wash my hand. Hahahahahaha
Me: Watch.
Whisky: Wash
Me: Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Whisky: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Me: Watch and Wash sound really different, Whisky.
Whisky: Same!
Me: Ok, Whisky. Go washhhhh your hands.
