Once again, one of my students put me on the spot.
After the customary "how was your day?" and "what have you been doing recently?" salutations:
Me: Right. So what would you like to talk about for tonight?
Student: You have... suggestion?
Me: No, not really. Let's talk about what you want to discuss.
Student: Hmm. Your girlfriend.
...tawa na lang ako, sabay "I don't have one." Pakialamero 'tong mokong na 'to. XD (yes, this was a guy) So we talked about HIS girlfriend instead. And strangely enough (for a Japanese guy, at least), under siya kay jowa. Go figure.
