What's really pulling me through right now are the kids. They've been really trying, but God help me I can't help but love the little buggers. Ah, I'm going to sound like one of those moms that obsess over every thing their child does. But I have over 20 instead of one!
It's been hot here in Busan (finally) and I work a sleeveless t-shirt to work because, let's face it, it gets stuffy packed in a room with hyper kids. I teach one class of second grade girls science on Fridays, and today Ruby tells me, "Teacher.... you have titties!"
And my jaw just dropped. WTF. A million things cross your mind at that point, "Where did she learn that?" "Does she know what that means" "Do I laugh?" "Do I yell?"
So I just cross my arms and say, "Don't look!!!"
Caught her! She blushes and goes, "I don't look!!" Very embarrassed. Ahahahah!!!! And yeah... today I've actually been groped by a lot of students. Boys AND girls. The hell? Like Jenny just reached up and honked 'em. Woah. But then I just have to laugh.
And in another science class I taught the students about optical illusions. This class is more of a beginning English class so it was more challenging BUT-- what made it awesome is that I taught all the students to say 'illlllluuuuuuuusion' like Gob does from Arrested Development. Fuck yeah.
And one day, when you run into a Korean that says 'illlluuuuuuuusion' and then breaks into 'Final Countdown' you can thank me. THANK ME.
