I had a day in the office a few months back, and I was sitting around talking to my TT. This is actually the same TT as the story below. We were joking around, and she was helping me out some with my Thai. At this point, I was learning some words such as handsome, pretty, etc. We had a conversation, once again in Thai, that went something like this:
Me: I’m handsome, right?
TT: No, you’re fat.
Me: Yeah, I’m big.
It turns out, that went you say, “I’m big” in Thai, you aren’t talking about your body. There were about 4-6 Thai girls sitting in the office there when I said that. Needless to say, the word spread quickly.

So, during bus call yesterday (where my homeroom students hang out in my room until their buses are called), I checked my school email, then went to Shouzer. Most websites are blocked here, but Shouzer isn’t, and it’s usually a pretty safe bet, whatwith the political issues and the computer talk. Not yesterday though! Oh, no. Yesterday, I went to Shouzer just as a student walked to my desk to ask a question, and there it was — The Penis Story.
