Weird and creepy or sweet and generous. You be the judge.

I've always known Italian students are different than other students.....and by different I mean way cooler and super awesome.  However, there are moments when I wonder if maybe my lovely language attracts the crazies.  Here are some moments I've collected over the last six and a half years of teaching and let me know if you think they're weird and creepy or sweet and generous.

1.  One of my students asked me if I liked Snickers.  I said no, I prefer Milky Ways because I don't like peanuts.  So, the next day he came to the office hours, opened a snickers bar, ate the top off (where the peanuts are) and then gave me the rest.  Weird and creepy or sweet and generous?

2.  One time I was telling my students the story of how my kitty had to have her tail partially amputated.  The next week after the surgery one of them brought me a stuffed kitty tale.  Or maybe it was for Coco, I'm  not sure.  Weird and creepy or sweet and generous?

3.  I had a student who consistently fell asleep in class because his "cagna" of a girlfriend kept him up all night fighting.  So, he started bringing me apples from the dining hall.  And then when he started coming late and falling asleep he would bring fake sunflowers.  They're still in the drawer of my desk at UNC.  Weird and creepy or sweet and generous?

4.  One of my students was Hawaiian and apparently really liked my class so she made some Hawaiian holiday bread.....in the shapes of my initials.....and then left them outside my classroom so I would find them after the final.  Weird and creepy or sweet and generous?

I guess that's only really 4 things.....but they stick out.
