The other day, I was talking with my often mentioned student, Sophia, about her upcoming role as an assistent MC for our talent show.
We were planning a kind of skit for a moment near the beginning of the show. In this context, I suggested she could interrupt me - which she does often enough.
"...but, I can't be rude on purpose," she protested.
I said, "You don't have to be rude. Just be your natural self."
Without pause, she said, "But my natural self is ... quite rude." Then she made a funny face, realizing what she'd just admitted.
