Baby Panty

(Background: Teaching a lesson about the flood in Pakistan along with natural disasters. Explaining what aid is-no not AIDS kids.)

What supplies do we need if there was a disaster? food, water, clothes, medicine.
A particularly cute student is trying to explain something. He said 'baby'. Then he adds a motion across his belly. I say surgery- surgical tools. No teacher. He continues to wiggle and then motions between his legs like a baby was coming out. What?! He repeats the actions. Finally he says "baby panty" - hahaha- awe diapers- Yes those are important. Good.

Dog, Ddak, Dak, Duck

My two best Korean friends had lunch with us. But sometimes we have to laugh at the communication gap.
Ddak= Korean Rice Cake
Dak= chicken in Korean
Dog= small furry animal
Duck= water fowl

We were telling them that we were going to go for a meal of duck meat. All of the words are pronounced similarly. It took four of us about 10 minutes to figure it out. So funny

A note from a student: Hi teacher. You look bad. Cheer up! You can do it.

(Real Message- I know my class behaves badly. You looked stressed. Keep it up. Fighting!)

Korean Thanksgiving and Poutine

Jack and his niece came over for some genuine Canadian cuisine. I served the classic poutine- french fries, cheese and gravy. The idea of gravy sauce grosses most Koreans out. But luckily I had a pack of gravy mix and just added water. They said they really liked it.
I hope they can come to Canada to experience the real thing.
