Monday to Friday

Before I start to get into the juicy details and identical dates that happened while Abby was here, let me tell you this.

I have this really nice former student who I see every Monday and Wednesday even though I don't teach that group anymore. Anyway, the other day he was telling me about how he lives two hours out of the city but works in the city. Our conversation went something like this:

me: "Wait, you live outside of Santiago?"
student: "Yes."
Me: "Wait, so when you get out of class at 9pm, you drive TWO HOURS to get home? What the hell is wrong with you?"
student: "No, during the week I live in Santiago."
me: "OH! So you're only home on the weekends?"
student: "Yes." ...(pauses and then kind of leans into me)... "From Monday to Friday I'm single."
me: ........"yeah, i think that's my cue to leave."

at which point we all laughed and then I told him I was going to call his wife and we all laughed some more. Later on I gave him these two cookies that I had left from the ones I bought for my students to munch on during class.

Today he brought me a package of cookies and I told him he was a very sweet man to which he replied "You didn't think so on Monday," (which, granted, I thought was kind of endearing) and I laughed and said "no, I know it was a joke. it was funny." and we laughed again.

Later on when I tell you about one of the two identical dates, you will sort of come to understand why this story is so especially funny.

My students are weird.
