TRUE STORY:
In 2005 I was teaching for a school in Nanjing that offered evening oral English classes to adults at a low cost (my favoprite place to teach, so I always accepted gigs from them). According to their course text, one particular evening I was to teach a lesson about Easter -- but without discussing Jesus/Christianity! (can you imagine? no easy feat).

Instead, I focued on things like the Easter Bunny and more secular aspects of the Easter holiday celebration. Apparently, I failed to clarify a few things that I had mentioned becuase a few days later, I received a text message from a very kind, older, rather macho male student that read: "How do I cook jelly beans? Please tell me."
