The Ketchup War

It’s Friday!! School’s over for the weekend! This can only mean ONE thing: QUOTE FRIDAY!!

The best of this week’s quotes from my elementary students in South Korea (and some thrown in from friends too)

Me: ‘What floats on water?’

Kid: ‘Juice!’

Me: ‘Ummm, no….actually I don’t know…but I’m gonna say no. Anything else?’

Kid 2: ‘Poseidon!!’

Me: ‘The ship?’

Kid 2: ‘No, king of the sea!!!’

Me: ‘I don’t think he floats.’

Kid 2: ‘HE’S THE KING!!’

***

Studying the environment: Me: ‘What’s glass?’

Kid: ‘A wine bottle!’

Me: ‘Ok, what’s metal?’

Same kid: ‘Terminator!’

Kid 2: ‘A transformer!!!’

Kid: ‘That thing from Alien.’

Me: ‘Ok, I’ll also accept ‘a car”

Whole class: ‘Oohhhhhhhh yeah!’

My 7 year olds: We’re studying town buildings / places.

Me: ‘What’s a post office?’

Little Girl: ‘Love letter!’

Me: ‘Ok, what’s a park? ‘

Little Girl: ‘Couples walk!’

***

Me: ‘What’s rent?’

Nothing.

Me: ‘Ok, for example, Chris, I will rent your pencil for this class for $2.’

Chris: (shaking his head and moving the pencil away from the edge of his desk) ‘No.’

Me: ‘No, no, I won’t keep the pencil. I’ll give you $2 and I’ll borrow your pencil for one class.’

Chris: ‘No, give me $5.’

***

Me: ‘Name something yellow.’

Kid: ‘A color.’
