Last week, I was attempting to teach a group of young'uns the following:
"How old are you?"
"I am six years old." or "I am six."
Me: "How old are you?"
Student: "I have sex."
*a quick explanation: in French, you don't say je suis six (lit. "I am six") you say j'ai six ans (lit. "I have six years"). The kid was trying to translate literally. Also he couldn't pronounce six...
As usual, the funniest mistakes are honest mistakes - when they say stuff like this by accident I find it really charming and hilarious. (I do try to keep my laughter to myself, though - I don't want to have to explain why I'm laughing.)
