During a conversation test:
Me: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
(45-second pause)
Student, who is around 10 years old mind you: "Clock."
Me: "Clock?"
Student: "...Apple?"
The other teacher in the room looks horrified and stares at me, as if, in being a native speaker, I can mind-meld with this student and tell her the error of her ways.
Me: "Write it down. She wants to be a clock-apple. Next question."

Everyone hates astronauts.
