Silly Kids

Today I had 3-5, which is the creepiest, quietest class in the entire world. Like, they would be eerily quiet in any school, let alone Yabuchuu, where I am used to items being thrown about while I am talking. We had a talking activity today, which worried me, as they NEVER make a sound, even if I ask them to. They were surprisingly talkative, though, which was nice.

Anyway, the activity was using “I can ______.” I was walking around when I heard this one boy saying “I can speak Parseltongue!” I was very amused by the completely random Harry Potter reference, and the fact that he knew that word (and said it in good English!), so I started laughing. He then proceeded to pretend to talk to his friends in Parseltongue for literally at least five minutes.

It sounds really nerdy on paper, but he is kind of a “cool” kid, so it was funny. Crazy Asians and their love for Harry Potter!

wow..

I actually had almost the exact same thing happen yesterday in one of my 3rd year classes! We were doing a worksheet to practice writing sentences to the tune of "Shall I blah blah blah?" and one of my "cooler" kids asked me how to spell 'parseltongue' so he could write "shall I speak to you in parseltongue?" My blatent astonishment was interpreted as encouragement for a parseltongue speaking demonstration that went on waaaaaaay longer than I was prepared for. Weird, wild stuff.
