mischievous twins

These twins are very bright but also very mischievous. The things they say - if taken seriously - can be hurtful. I don't even know if they mean what they say or not anymore since they always say things so lightheartedly. Like the other day, we were discussing why they should use Mister, Miss, or Missus for all their English teachers and after the discussion, they wanted to know if they could call me Mrs. Fu.

"No," I said, "I'm not married yet."

"You're not? Will we ever be able to call you Mrs.?" joked one.

"Will you ever get married?" laughed the other.

"Why are you in a hurry to marry me off?" I asked.

Suddenly another student chipped in and asked, "Can we call you Mr. Fu then?"

"Of course not!" I said. "I don't plan on getting a sex change."

One of the twins seized the opportunity and said, "Oh, don't worry. You are a man already anyway. You won't need one."

Little rascal.

Do I look like a man? I recently cut my hair. Darn. Now they're making me all self-conscious.
