Acorn

My kids watched a little video this morning. When it ended, Maro noticed me Korea-style kneeling in the aisle by the back row. She walked over and, for a moment, held my face in her hands. Then she proceeded to pet my hair and repeat "Oh, good job! Good job, teacher!" I imagine this is precisely the way she sounds when she talks to Acorn, her dog.

    Sad, I get no petting when I'm doing a proper Chinese squat.

What's In a Name

English names are fluid here. Today Annabelle informed me that she wants me to spell her name now without the last 'e'. Andy regularly alters his name... Jandy, Pandy, Mandy (until I told him I know a girl with that name). And, just for today, Justin decided to be Bustin. It's the best when said with a Korean accent.   It's not only the kindergarten kids. Jenny is also Jinny, and Alice is the same person as Sarah. My friend Dawna said that, a day after she started teaching, a girl at that school changed her name to Dawna. I think I'm going to start dropping letters out of my name, too. Or swapping them. Tomorrow you may call me Zabeth.
