As usual, the kids have been full of creativity and "wisdom" over the past few weeks:
Angie: "When Rosie wins a game, there is a lot of noise!" [VERY true!]
Me: "How are you today, Lenny?"
Lenny: "Oh, I am not good. I am die and very hot, and I am happy."
Patrick: "Step-anie-Teacher! Angie is wearing a very bad shirt. Her this is showing!" [Apparently, Angie's shirt was a bit low cut - she's nine, by the way.]
Anne: "Step-anie, what is monumental?"
Me: "It's something that is huge--"
Jamie: (interrupting) "Angie is monumental!"
Me: "No, no..." [It went downhill from there.]
Me: "Okay, I want you to write about your favorite dinner. And make sure you are writing about food. I don't want to read about any blood, human, beer, cognac, soju, or whisky."
Leon and Evan started furiously erasing their essays!
Me: "What do you like to eat?"
Jinny: "I like strawberries, and chocolate, and rice."
Me" "What do you like to eat, Ryan?
Ryan: "I like to eat EVERYBODY!" [He meant everything]
Me: "What is the boy wearing?"
Tom: "He's wearing blue panties!"
Me: "PANTS, Tom!"
And, of course, a few words from the kindergartners:
Eddie: "Teacher! Teacher! I have many nose water!" [His nose was running.]
Me: "Oh, Jay, you are too slow today!"
Harry: "Jay is turtle!"
Amy: "Jay is grandpa turtle!"
Liz: "Teacher, me grandma is SEXY!" [It took a minute to figure out, but she actually meant "sixty."]
Amy: "S-tep-anie, look. Rabbit!"
Me: "Amy, that page is for tomorrow, okay?"
Amy: "White rabbit!"
Me: "Amy, tomorrow, tomorrow."
Amy and Cali: "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow!" [I joined in and we had an impromptu rendition of "Tomorrow" (from "Annie"). I couldn't believe Korean kindergartners were familiar with that musical--and could remember that many of the words!"]
