Either way is different

I have 13 freshman that are in remedial math for two hours a day. I do as much relationship building with those kids as I do actual teaching of math. To reward them when they work hard, we sometimes talk about various things.

One day I decided to teach them a few come-backs to common insults. One come-back was to any insult towards one's mother. The come back is, "At least I have a mom and not two dads like you."

The other come-back I taught them was when someone said, in Spanish, "Your face." The come-back was, "At least I have a face and not two butts."

Today, the most hyper, most immature kid I have ever had, was in a bit of a cut-down war that broke out during the progress of a game we were playing. Someone said to him, in Spanish, "Your face."

He said, "At least I have a face and not two dads like you."

I think he missed the point.
