Red Light Plight

(My brother is talking about how his Korean teacher’s questions have been getting stranger since the teacher’s son was born earlier in the year.)

Brother: “They’re getting really weird lately.”

Mum: “Well, he’s probably tired!”

Brother: “But seriously, [Friend In The Same Class] showed me her homework yesterday and asked, “Does this really mean ‘I bought my girlfriend in Amsterdam’?””

Mum: “Did it?”

Brother: “I had a look and told her, “No. It means ‘I bought ‘a‘ girlfriend in Amsterdam’.”
