Monday Week One

My teacher and I have had some very funny conversations when I say things wrong. For example the word for orange and spider are very similar and I said I was scared of oranges. He said that is very strange. So I said it's actually very common. So he said I was crazy. I later realised what I had said! I also told him my dad has black skin instead of hair and have only realised my mistake today after him thinking for 3 days that my dad is black! Also I said my mum thinks our dog is a baby. So he said that my mum should see a phychiatrist because a dog and a baby are very different!!! I'm sure the children will find my mistakes very amusing!!!
