Kids say the darndest things....

Oh wow, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time.

Today was my first day teaching a whole day of classes, but my second day teaching most of the kids in my afternoon school. I'm not sure why but for some reason EVERY class in the afternoon decided today would be a great day to grill James Teacher on his personal life. For the most part I answered the basics but stayed away from any long discussions and went to the text book.

But my last class this afternoon was different. These kids are fun and they are smart! Like they're eleven years old and can spell the word "extraterrestrial" in a language they only started learning six years ago (By the way Whit, Lindsay, one of the girls goes to Songwon and knows you two). So when the questions came out I decided to use the oportunity. Instead of trying to pull them back to the subject at hand, I let things roll and asked them to try again if their grammar or structure was wrong. They asked me about my parents, my country. And then came the question that everyone asks: Are you married?

Being 23 and single in North America is normal, here its effin wierd! The kids are so amazed by the fact that I do not have a wife and children. They asked me if I had a girlfriend. Any other class I would have said "No, now open you books to..." But like I said we were having a great conversation so I said "Not now, I used to"

Bad idea... but I didn't know it

They asked what her name was, and I told them. They asked why we weren't together, I seriously glossed over the answer and they took it, so one bullet dodged. They asked how she cut her hair and if she was pretty, I explained and said yes.

And then from the back of the room, comes the meek voice of Minnie, one of the most innocent girls you will ever see...

"Teacher! Kate is... sexy?"

I lost it, I couldn't keep a straight face and just fell against the white board laughing.

So this is my life for now... at least it has its entertaining moments. Time to go back to class,

Catch you guys later!
