That's a verb?

Unfortunately, this story starts with a sad moment. One of students was misbehaving, and I rebuked him. He didn't seem to mind that I had had to reprimand him. So I asked him, "Doesn't it bother you when I constantly tell you to stop doing wrong?"

"No," he replied in all sincerity.

"That's very sad, " I replied. "It's sad that you are sinning and it doesn't bother you."

I was about to continue the conversation when another student says, "Sinning? This is a verb?"

The student sitting in front of the questioner turns and says, "Yes, it means 'to sin'."

"Oh, okay," replied the questioner.

Life is never boring with these kids.
