| | Things My Students Have Said and Done in the Last 24 HoursI love them so much, but they are crazy.
Episode the First
Kelly and I are in my kitchen preparing a delicious nabe for dinner. The doorbell rings and I innocently open the door without checking who's there. Outside stand four of my 7th grade students (all boys) in varying poses of embarrasment and amusement. They snicker and mumble about how one of them wants to learn English before deciding to admit that they all want to learn English.
Me: What, like right now?
Them: Yes.
Me: Um, I have a friend over right now...Kelly, come meet my students!
Kelly: Dude, your students come to your door and talk to you? Lucky!
Me: Uh yeah, this has never happened before. So, I'm kind of busy right now.
Them: But we'd like to learn English.
Me: What kind of English?
Them: We don't know anything. The alphabet would be nice. You know, A B C...
Me: Right.
So we decided that I would meet up with the four of them next Saturday and I would teach them some English. I have no idea what they want to learn, but I guess I just have to go with the flow.
Episode the Second
I'm was at a preschool today and when lunch rolled around, a little boy walked me through their whole routine of wash their hands, rinse their mouths, and go poop. When I told him I was okay and didn't need to use the toilet, he stared at me in wonder and murmured, "Oh, so foreigners don't poop."
Episode the Third
Again at preschool. I'm standing surrounded by my admiring 5 year olds when a little 4 year old boy runs up to me. He doesn't speak, he yells.
Him: BEAUTIFUL.
Me: What is?
Him: YOUR BODY.
He runs away.
