The Moment of Realization was Awesome

Conversation with a student today:

Luigi:
(seeing my Harvard t-shirt) Teacher, did you go to Harvard?

Me:
Yes, I went to Harvard.

Luigi:
Really? (pause) Lie! Lie!

Me:
No, it's true. I really went to Harvard.

Luigi:
(long pause) Did you STUDY at Harvard?

Me:
No, I didn’t.

Luigi:
Haha! So you went to VISIT Harvard? Haha..


The moment of realization put a great look on his face. It was awesome. I love when they learn that literal meanings can be different than what they think they're asking. (Native Speakers too!)
