Laby and the Tramp

Today was probably one of the funniest days so far. Remember how last week I told you that Danny said he would be fishing on Monday and not coming to school? Well, this morning he came and I said, “Danny, we missed you yesterday, where were you?” He said, “Oh I was sick.” And said, “Oh you were sick, so you didn’t go fishing?” He smiled and said, “Well yes, I went fishing, but then I got sick after that.” Ha so then we are telling morning news and Taylor’s news is that her brother is really funny (reminded me of you, Pete) and she told us a joke that he said in the car on the way to school this morning: Knock Knock. Who’s there? Granny. Granny who? Knock knock. Who’s there? Granny. Granny who? Knock Knock. Who’s there? Aunt. Aunt Who? Aunt you glad I didn’t say granny? I thought that was so funny because with their accents aunt does sound a bit like aren’t. Then I went with the kids to their Indonesian class. They take Indonesian instead of Spanish like most of our elem schools. Anyway, I have already talked to the Indo teacher a lot because she is in the Pilates class on Tuesdays and she has given me lots of tips and info about Bali. I learned a lot just from sitting in one class and I am getting really excited about going there on Friday! The language is like nothing I have heard before. I couldn’t even really relate it to anything. Here is a little indo lesson for you:

After that the kids had Diary time which is were they write in their journal for 20 or 30 minutes about their weekend. Alazer’s was titled Laby and the Tramp. He said that this weekend he watched a really good movie about a junk yard dog named Tramp. And then there was a beautiful dog named Laby.

Then after that we had crunch and sip and we played “I Spy”. I did the first one and then Harry went and he said, “I spy with my little eye something that is…skin colored” I pointed to my arm and said this? And he said, “yea” haha As many times as I have played that game I have never heard anyone use that one! Also during crunch and sip, Owain came up to me to say that John was squirting him with water near the water fountain. I told him I would talk to him about it. About ten minutes later Jakob came up to me and “Miss Boehme, John was squirting Owain with water.” I said, “I know Owain has already spoken to me about it and I will talk to John later”. And he said, “oh ok, so you are going to sort him out?” They use that a lot and I just think it sounds funny. And also they do not every say period for punctuation mark. They always say “full stop”. I looked it up in the Australian dictionary and it said full stop is the point at the end of a sentence. It said period: a form of punctuation, full stop. Pretty interesting. Also since it is the beginning of the month in the states I have heard people say, "Rabbit, Rabbit" Jenny, you remember when Mrs Gandy told us about that? Well, here they say "White Rabbit".

Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Love you lots and miss you much!
