Matt the Cactus

Today in my Korean class, a girl raised her hand just before class started to tell the teacher something.

"I brought my pet cactus to class today! Isn't he cute??"
"That's very interesting," says my professor. "I bet he will be even more attentive than some of the regular students..." Clearly, he was humoring her.
"His name is Matt. The cactus, his name is Matt!"
"...You NAMED the cactus??" he asks incredulously.
"Uh...yeah! He is my pet!"

Two thoughts come to mind: 1) How old are you? and 2) ok......
(Okay, so there are actually several more comments that I thought as well, but in an effort to appear as a somewhat nice person who doesn't make fun of random people, I shall refrain.)
