That's Karma.

There are 4 newcomers from Mexico in my last period class. It's actually really hard for me to believe they are still considered "newcomers" because they are fast learners & they've acquired so much English already.

Sidenote, 2 of the 4 of these students are extremely nosy & are ALWAYS wondering what the other students' grades are & if they did better or worse on something.

Last week, the students were making posters about how to conjugate a verb & they each had their own verb to turn in. One student (CD - the only male in the class, poor thing) was showing me his poster & asking me a questions about the correct conjugation, when another student (YS) made a sassy comment about his work. She was joking, but nonetheless...

Not 1 minute later did we hear YS say "Oh no!! I made the...I need the H...I did it wrooong!"

CD, without even looking up, quietly said, "That's karma."

How do they hear these phrases & how do they know what they mean & when to apply them?! I laughed a lot. This was one of my favorites.
