Caveat: Australopithecus?

Australopithecus_afarensis_klI said to my class, "Do you know the provinces of Korea?" I thought this would be an 'gimme' question – most Korean middle-schoolers know the provinces in their country. How wrong I was.

My student answered, enthusiastically, "Australopithecus!" There was no hesitation or doubt in his voice.

Perhaps he'd misunderstood my question. But what in the world did he think I'd meant? Or was it a joke? I never found out.

I'm really tired. Goodnight.
