Why I love my job!

This is an actual conversation between myself and one of my students.

S: I need to know how to spell 'sex'
Me: Excuse me?
S: I need to know how to spell 'sex'
Me: Why do you need to know that?
S: I'm trying to write insects. I know how to spell in now I need to know how to spell sects.

Here's another from a few days earlier with a different child.
S: Can I tell you something?
Me: Sure.
S: Everyday I wear three pairs of underwear.
Me: (obviously unsure how to approach this) Wow! I bet your mom has lots of laundry then.
I was curious and wanted to ask if it was three at one time or if he just changed them frequently. I didn't want to encourage him, so I kept my mouth shut.
