A little something to chuckle at...

Every lunch time, we are assigned each week to eat with a particular class. This week happens to be my week to eat with Phoenix class. Oh yeah, all the classes are names of mythical creatures. Anyhow, each day after I give the kids their food, I turn on the radio to the local Armed Forces Network. It's not so much that I want to hear Armed Forces News, but that I prefer all the music they play in English. I think lunch time is around when they usually play a bunch of hip-hop too. So, we're all sitting there eating our lunches peacefully this past Monday (as peacefully as possible with a bunch of 5 year olds), when the song "Roll-out" comes on the radio. I was kind of singing along and one of the girls asked me what roll-out was. They say it so much in the song that it must have stuck out to her. Mind you, she's a bit high for a 5 year old and asks a lot of questions. Anyhow, I told her it meant, "let's go" and said it to her in Korean. I had kind of forgot about it until yesterday during lunch. Everybody else was finished and gone and it was just her and I left in the room. She finished her lunch and very proudly stood up and was like....."rorr out teacher!" I sat there a minute and just said "What?!" It dawned on me afterwards what she meant....hehehe. The funny thing is this girl is moving with her family and will soon be going to a different academy. If I accomplish nothing more in these last couple days other than to get her to say "roll-out", I'll be contented. I can just picture her at her next school with some uptight Englishman or someone like that and she'll just as happily as ever be like....."rorr-out teacher!". That's just my own little bit to laugh about for now...
