A compilation of some of the random quips from my kids. (Conversations in italics were in Japanese.)

Male Student: Which boy is your type?
(One of the first questions I was asked when I started @ the junior high.)

4th Grade Girl: Her arms are soft! Like a bunny! (The children learn about arm hair. And I don’t think my arms are AS soft as a bunny’s.)

Me: I’m from America.
1st grader: You’re wrong! You’re from Germany!
(I’m getting schooled on my mother country by a first grader.

Me: Why is Santa green?
6th grader: Because he’s a frog.
(Ahhh, such sound logic)

3rd grader: Melanie-sensei! Melanie-sensei! Today we learned that “sensei” means “teacher,” so do we call you “Teacher Melanie” or “Melanie-teacher”?
(I don’t want to correct him because he’s so enthusiastic about it)
