My baby has a penis.

On Friday afternoons I teach a class for other teachers who are interested in learning more English. Usually we spend about 20 minutes doing a scripted lesson I plan out and the last ten minutes we practice conversation. Today's topic is "What did you do for Chuseok?" Of course, the first thing I expected to hear was the man in our class announce, "My baby has a penis." After several attempts to regain my composure, I was informed by one of the other teachers that he was trying to tell me that he has a son. The thing is, this guy's wife is an English teacher! He can't just say, "I have a son?" Ah well, that's Korea.
