i live in saudi, there's obviously a unique brand of islam here. i am constantly telling the little ones not to tell each other that they're going to “the fire” (hell) for various infractions. me yesterday: “Abdurahman, how many times do I have to tell you to stop telling Mohammed that he's going to the fire!” it's completely insane.
This is so funny. Today Kindergarteners were drawing their family as snowpeople.
I asked a kindergarten boy, tell me about your snow family. Kid: “This is my dad.” Me: “okay tell me about your dad.” Kid: “He likes to play video games.” Me: “That's nice he plays with you.” Kid: “No he won't let me play, and this is my mom she is cooking, cleaning and that's our laundry!”
Hahaha! I need to call this mom and give her an award or at least a nice phone call about how wonderful her son is! It's the least I can do.
Shared by another AT friend of mine: Today I learned from a student of mine that elves do not live in the North Pole. When I asked him where they live, he replied “In the attic!” All this because his elf on the shelf snuck into his lunch box today!
