Sunburn

While trying to teach a math class...

Student raises hand.
Me: Yes?
Student #1: Miss Moretti, did you get burnt this weekend?
Me: Oh, yes, a little bit.
Student raises hand again.
Me: Yes?
Student #1: Did you go to the beach this weekend?
Me: Uh, no, I was just in my house.
[I was trying to say that I stayed in this weekend but laid out on our deck.]
Another student raises hand.
Me [hoping the next question is about math]: Yes!
Student #2: Miss Moretti, I think you need to get a new light in your house if you get burnt from it.
