Student: How can dolphins get married in the sea?

Me: Um, what did you say? Get married?

Student: How can dolphins get married in the sea? [with a very serious look... she was not trying to be funny...]

Me: Oh.... um, well, dolphins don't get married. Yah, they don't get married. Only people do.

Student: [with a very puzzled and sad look] Why? Then how do they have babies?

Me: Um...

Student: How do they have babies in the sea then? [cocking her head to the side with a most confused expression]

Me: Okay, what's your next question?
