Me: We’re going to start a new piece today. It’s called “Cuckoo.” Do you know what a cuckoo is?
Student: Yeah. It means crazy.
Me: Well, yes, sometimes people use it to mean that. But it’s also a thing.
Student: <blank look>
Me: It lives in trees.
Student: Oh! I know! It’s that thing that a caterpillar crawls inside before it becomes a butterfly.
