There's always something interesting bound to happen when two of your students are siblings..
My students Kane and Anne are a classic example.
First class : Kane
Kane : Teacher, what do you and my sister do in your class? Me : free talk Kane : Everyday? Me : Yes. Why Kane : She can use my book, it's ok with me. Me : She would rather not. Kane : But she can, she's aleady good in English! I used to be better than her but because she went abroad for a while she's now better than me. Me : It's not about who's better than who Kane. She's preparing for a speech contest. Kane : But that's not fair. I study the book everyday. Me : Why do you hate your book so much? Kane : *grumbles* She will also study the book if you tell her to. Me : We can make Friday our games day, Kane. You like that? Kane : *beams* or we can play games everyday, teacher. Me : Give it up, Kane. Get your book. Kane : teacher do you think Anne is better than me? Me : No, I don't think so. I think you're both very impressive. Kane : You're not telling the truth. Me : *getting fed up* That's the truth. Now get your book, Kane. Kane : *big sighs* Me : (haaaaaaayyy.. kids!!!)
Next Class : Anne
Me : Hey Anne, what do you think about Kane's book? Anne : No teacher. I don't want to study that book. My brother is very bad. Me : He's very bad? Anne : Yes, he talked to you last night about my class. Me : Excuse me? Anne : I was listening on the other line. *said with utmost smugness* Me : Oh, you call that eavesdropping, Anne. Not very good. Anne : Yes, teacher I know. I'm sorry, but I know my brother. He's really mean. Teacher, is my brother talkative in your class? Me : Hmmm, why don't you ask him? Anne : I don't think so. Me : Yeah? Why not? Anne : Because he never talks to me, not even in Korean. But me, I'm very, very talkative. Me : *smiles* Yeah, I noticed.
