Classroom Blooper

My husband and I work at the same school. He's a history teacher, so we don't see each other a whole lot, but we do email frequently during the day. It's Monday morning, so no one is thinking 100% clearly today. John just sent me the following message that made me laugh out loud:

"Well, I am going to be fired now. As I was reading your email [a female student in his class who is also on my JV field hockey team] asked me a question. Without thinking since I say this to you all the time it slipped out. She asked something and I did not hear her completely and I said, 'What, baby?' Well the class started laughing and I had to explain that I was reading an email from you and my mind was elsewhere."
