The darndest things
Today some of my 5 and 6-year old kids were coloring pictures of people in uniforms for different occupation, including a fire fighter. I was coloring my own picture along with the kids. The kids are always chatting away merrily to me in Japanese. I can understand most of what they say, especially when they're so young, but I always reply in English.
Yuto, a little boy, looked at my picture and asked (in Japanese) "Teacher, why is the fire fighter's face brown?"
Me, in English: "His face is dirty. He was in the fire!"
Seiya, another little boy, to Yuto: "What did she say?"
Yuto to Seiya: "She said his face is brown because he's a foreigner."
LOL! Stay hilarious, kids! (Not as funny as a girl I know whose student (quite innocently) wrote in his book report that a character had "homosexual brown hair," but it made me giggle. :D)
