TO MAKE a funny

There's a little 6-letter word in this language that means "to make". It is necessary to use this word in order to communicate many things. Today in language class Mike's teacher wanted all the students to practice using this word. She asked the class, "After school, what do you want to do?" The students were to respond with the "to make" word. The teacher went around the room, and each student gave a response. Being the family man, Mike planned carefully how he wanted to say, "After school, I want to play with my children." He threw in that "to make" word. His literal translation was "After school, I want to make children." The teacher heartily laughed and had to regain composure. Since everyone in the class is a beginner language student, she had to explain to the whole class Mike's after-school desire. Then there was uncontrollable laughter from the entire class.

Interesting, after over a week no one has responded to this one. Or are "Blog Authors" editing all of them out?
