...I know I've been terrible about blogging. I constantly have all sorts of plans to blog that I never follow through on. I have a stash of AWESOMEly terrible pictures, witticisms, bon mots and stories so funny, you didn't even have to be there. And I have committed NONE of them to the proverbial e-paper. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle for me.
If the paragraph above has gotten your hopes up, sorry about that. Today is not going to be the day that I post in great depth about all of the awesome hilarity that has taken place since October. HOWEVER, I will give you just the tiniest taste...
I was having a conversation today with one of my most favouritest people in the world, discussing one of my teeniest students. He is itty bitty, has no teeth, wears a bow tie to school and is cute as a button. He does not, in fact, know how to speak English.
I confirmed today that he knows the following (and ONLY the following) English words:
"I am here!"
"Pinishhhhheeee!" (don't get me started)
"WOW!" and
"Oh, no!"
It was pointed out to me that while this does not form a complete (or even particularly useful) vocabulary, this particular student is now well equipped to navigate any situation that involves fireworks, natural disasters, and the very tricky question "Where are you?".
