"Mouse, Teacher! Mouse!"

"Mouse, Teacher! Mouse!"
A few weeks ago I was giving the students an oral exam. One student came into the hallway and started shouting, "Amanda Teacher! Mouse, mouse," and pointing to his foot.
Recalling my "homesick" is literally 집 아프다 which means "my house is sick" episode with Master, I laughed.
쥐나다 is the verb that means a body part has "fallen asleep" and 쥐 means mouse.
"No! Not sleeping, mouse! Mouse!"
I laughed and nodded. "Your foot is asleep."
"Owwww! 아파요!"
(Don't ask me how I know such a rarely used word but I don't know the word for "toothbrush.")
