It's been a terribly long time since I last posted. Granted, I was sick for almost three weeks, so nothing really exciting was happening in my life. Life in Korea is still wonderful and exciting. My kids that I had been teaching for the past nine months graduated and went on to elementary school, but my new kids are great so far, especially Iris--my little third person referencing, happy-go-lucky, doesn't really ever fully know what's going on girl.
Korea has been great to me and here are some funnies from my kids to prove it.
Enjoy!
Me: Ultimatum.
Kid: Old potatum.
Me: Ul-ti-ma-tum.
Kid: Old tomato?
Kid: Teacher, how do I spell cock?
Me: (taken by surprise, but still keeping my composure) Cook?
Kid: No, cock.
Me: Clock?
Annoyed bystander: COKE!!
Kid: My girlfriend is kimchi jigae.
While I was sick...
Kid: Teacher, sore throat, it sounds not pretty. (points to the door with authority) GO GET SOME WATER!
Me: I'm trying.
Kid: Trying is good, teacher!
Kid: Teacher, if the airplane doesn't have air, we cannot go up?
Me: 2,000 won, is that a lot or a little?
Class: A little!
Kid: A LOT TO AN AFRICAN!
I hope these put a smile on your face just like they do to me everyday!
Stay true, stay real.
