One Response to “Terms”


  1. One of my Chinese students got two pet rabbits this past weekend. They’re both small, and curl up into a little ball when they sleep. One rabbit is black-and-white, so they named it “small rock”. The other rabbit is creamy white, so they named it “steamed bun”.

    When I finished killing myself with laughter, it took a few minutes to explain the pun to my student.

    She laughed. She’s not re-naming the rabbit.
