I told you the next update would come sooner than the last.

So, I just remembered this great story from kindergarten. And I'm afraid I will forget about it before I update again. So, here it is:

Each week, we learn about a new letter. Last week's letter was "f". We talk about and practice writing the letter every day, and on Friday we play the sound game, where the students stand in a line and take turns saying words that begin with the letter. The "f" sound game proved to be the funniest I have witnessed yet.

When it came time for this super cute little guy's turn, we asked him for an "f" word, and he said "frow up" (a common mistake). We told him that it is really "throw up" and he quickly said, "Well, I can't think of the Spanish word for it anyway." Huh? We had no idea what he was talking about, so we asked him to think of another "f" word. He did, and then went to the back of the line.

When his next turn rolled around, his "f" word was "fart". We told him that word was not very nice, and that he shouldn't say that at school. This little guy was so quick on his feet that he said without hesitation, and in all sincerity, "Well, it's just Spanish for frow up!"

I totally lost it. I couldn't do anything because I was laughing so hard. And this, my friends, is one of the many reasons that I love children!
