One of my students approached me before class this morning.
Student: Teechah, what is 'duh' mean?
Me: Duh?
Student: *nods*
Me: Where did you hear that word?
Student: Like, 'I went to duh school.'
Me: Oh! 'The'!
Student: *nods* What is mean, 'duh'?
Me: The... well... "the" is an... article? And you use it with nouns because... um... It's an article.
Student: Thank you, teechah.
He might as well have asked me the meaning of life.

Haha, I am a bad explainer. Today I tried to explain what an echo was, and some kids seemed to get it, but one boy asked me "Where is it?" and started looking around the room for the "echo," then said "Who's that guy you were talking about? Echo?" Hahaha.
