One of my students is now at university, and was telling me about another girl in one of her lectures.
Girl: ... And she, just, like, constructed a fort from tables and chairs. For no apparent reason.
Me: Why?
Girl: No idea.
Me: ... Does she do architecture? [no] Engineering? [no] So... why?
Girl: I have no idea. But, we think she might have some... mental problems... I mean, she likes One Direction and Justin Bieber so I do question her mental capactity.
Gold.

Weird Teacher Behaviour
15-yr-old girl I teach at home also has lessons at school. With someone I know. This has been rather amusing for me. At the very start of her lesson, not even unpacked, she starts with this.
Girl: OH! Okay, today, something very weird happened.
Me: Oh no! M [her younger sister] just started her lesson almost the same way. Is your violin okay?
Girl: Oh yeah. Ha! Yeah it's fine. Okay, well, Mr P, at lunchtime today, we could see him just ... walking... up and down... like this [she walked a couple of metres, her arms flapping gently like wings]
Me: Why... was he doing that?
Girl: I have no idea. But it was really weird.
Me: Did you ask him why?
Girl: No. My friend and I were on level 2, and he was on level 1, so he was, like, a long way - a long way - away. I only saw this because my friend saw him, and said, hey C, you have to see this... So, could you please ask him why he was flapping like a bird at lunchtime today?
Me: Um, sure.
