Happy Valentines Day!

Ok, so more ridiculous/funny things from the students:

Remember the girl (Kanon) who was crying because the boy (Shion) didn't come to class. Well, we were talking about initials yesterday, and I ask everyone their initials:
Kanon: Mine are KY
Misato: Mine are MKK
Shion: Mine are ST....hm, Kanon, Kanon Taniguchi, KT...see, it's a good fit
See, even they know they're going to get married. 7, they're 7.

One of my adult students brought me cake today for valentines day. She was nervous because she made it, and its chocolate, and chocolate cake is much harder to make than a regular cake. So, I thank her and ask her about her weekend. Her response is usually, "It was fine, my kid and my husband played baseball" (it's 30 degrees, and they play outside, insane!) But this week I say, "Did you do anything fun?" To which her response was an excited "Yes" followed by "Rui and his classmates played dodgeball. Oh, and my husband went to the dentist." I'm thinking, what...how is this fun. So I ask, "Why did your husband go to the dentist?" She says, "He was drunk, and he couldn't stand straight, and he fell down and no teeth" And then she laughed for like 5 minutes. it was hilarious! And then she said that Her husband was backing out of the drive way (Not drunk) and the back door was open and he didn't know, so he hit it on the fence and now it's broken. It was a great class. She has been quite talkative lately, which is good. She's so funny.

Another of my adult students came to class 40 minutes late. Class is only 50 minutes. So we had a ten minute class today. I like her.

ST from the story earlier was talking about the girl he likes who's in fifth grade (he's in first) and I said that she was a bit older than him. He responded with "Yeah, but it could work because my dad's 33 and my mom's....well, I can't tell you, she'd be mad."

I love my kids!

So, I have kids say and do ridiculous things all the time here are some of the stories:

2 weeks ago I was chatting with one of my 13 year old students the conversation is as follows:
K:" Molly, how did George Bush become President"
M: "I'm not so sure, why?"
K: "Well. he's not so good at English."
M: "I know, your English is better than his!"
K:"I know. That's bad."

Last week one of my students was sick with the flu so he couldn't come to class. One of the other students cried for the 1st 15 minutes of class because he wasn't coming. They're 7 and I'm convinced they will get married one day.

Today one of my favs (whom I usually have to growl at like a bear, or talk to like i'm a pirate) told me that he didn't live in a house:
M: Is your house red?
S: No.
M: Is it purple?
S: No
M: Do you live in a house?
S: No
M: Do you live in a cave?
S: (smiling and laughing) YES!
M: What color is your cave?
S: It's grey.
M: Are there pirates in your cave?
S: YES!!
M: Is your mom a pirate?
S: YES!!!
Then I pretended to be deathly afraid of pirates. It was awesome, he loved it.

The same kid (5 minutes later) thought it would be funny to pull off my socks. so he steals my slippers and "hides" them in his bag and then starts pulling...but I was wearing stockings, so they weren't coming off. Needless to say he was really confused! So he keeps tugging and then gets the idea to tie my stockings together. I wish I could have taken a picture, but I didn't have a camera. It was hilarious. Then he tied his own together. He's 4.

This morning my one baby came to class and didn't do anything but run in circles and giggle. It was so cute.

One of my newest students accidently said "I like cupeppers" instead of cucumbers. it was cute. She stopped and made a silly face, like "what did I just say?"


Ok, i'm going to bed!
