I have three basic lines when I engage a student in a conversation:
1. How many brothers & sisters do you have?
2. What are your plans after High School?
3. Every tattoo has a story, tell me yours..... (lots of interesting tattoos in High School!)
Anyway, I recently asked a young lady the easiest (or so I thought) of the three above questions. How many brothers and sisters do you have? Her response was, "On my mom's side or my dad's side?" On my Mom's side I'm one of five. But on my dad's side I'm not sure. She began to name various names while tapping her fingers.... then she stated "I do know I have 17 brothers!"
Wow...I was speechless!
