A FEW OF MY KIDS

This is Leo, who is now known as "The Boy Who Puked All Over Me." When he's not sick he's very active and super smart. He's always the first in the class to memorize flashcards and new songs, but he hates coloring/art class and when he's bored he can be a bit of a terror. Every morning all the girls fight over who gets to sit next to him, which is probably something I should put an end to but it really amuses me to no end to watch them.




This is David, who's in the same kindergarten class as Leo. He's the youngest and smallest in the class, and he's so cute!! He might be moving in on Leo's territory because he brought me and all the female students candy for White Day! See how he's laughing in this picture? That's what he does everytime I have to discipline him for something, which so far is averaging about 50 times per class.





This is Irene, who is in one of my afternoon classes. She's an absolute doll, but she never shuts up. The other day the entire class was out of control and had to stand facing the wall for a few minutes and she actually talked to the wall!!

Taking care of these kids must be better than dealing with all those drunks at Starters though! Glad to see you're doing well over there. where's the picture I've been waiting for...you know....the one with your travel companion???

Yes I am interested in the same thing, the English names.

When I was in my final year at Uni, we got a bunch of students from Malaysia. All of them adopted English names "to make it easy for us". However, this is their own country - so how come the names?

Their parents pick out their english names before they start classes at the school. I'm not sure why. I thought it was odd at first, but the kids seem to love it.

ANDREW!! Hi!! How are you?!? I think it's a toss up between the kids and the drunks...the drunks never puked on me, but the kids don't hit on me and follow me home after work (though I did rake in the chocolate for White Day!!).

DOF, you knew about white day and couldn't send flowers? I'm crushed! :) Guess you'll have to make it up to me on Black Day!! :)

well you know it is Steak and BJ day here. Plus your brother did tell me to stay away from you.

 
At 8:03 오전, Blogger Jes said...

Yes, but sending flowers is easy. Sending an international BJ - not that I do that kind of thing, mom :) - not so easy! I could drop a steak in the mail for you today...

Brownie!! I didn't know you cared!!

mother of jes and brownie -- it's not a job, it's an adventure. and it's made me pretty shockproof. or maybe just crazy.

and remember, they have a little brother, too.

How come mom reads your blog and not mine? Mine is so much cooler!

 
At 8:38 오전, Blogger Jes said...

Clearly she like me better.

And your blog sucks.

 
At 9:08 오전, Blogger brownie said...

I bet she reads yours to feel better about herself.

 
At 6:48 오후, Blogger Jes said...

Ooohhhh...good comeback. How long did it take you to come up with that?

jon, i do read your blog, but it won't let me post a reply -- jes' is more user friendly. besides, as we all know, i can drive so i don't run.

 
At 9:54 오후, Blogger Jes said...

Translation: Your blog sucks. Mom likes me best!

 
At 12:16 오전, Blogger brownie said...

Yeah, but I heard they're gonna come visit me in CO. I bet they don't come visit you in Korea.

Brownie...Jes...I'll end this battle now...Your dad loves me the most! Boo-Yah!

moms don't have favorite kids. it's mostly a question of who we're least pissed off at right this minute.
