A hero is born...

today i asked my kids as usual what they did on the weekend, and like usual, they said 'nothing' or 'usual stuff' until i said we will write essays and tests then instead.....one of my favourite students seemed a little down, and didn't really talk to me that way that he normally does.....so i made a mental note and started class.....about half way through it, he just began talking on his own.....he always begins any dialogue by saying 'yeah' before anything else......so in the middle of reading a story about population densities (excitement!!), he said to me "yeah, well, i have no eyebrows".....a highly unusual statement, even for a Korean.....so then he kept talking....."yeah, i have no eyebrows because i burned them off playing with fire on the weekend. that's what i did on the weekend".....so awesome.....so i probed further and he continued....."yeah, i was too close to the heat and it burned my eyebrows"....."why was the fire close to your face?"....."yeah, i wanted to make sure it was on fire. it was like, a matchbox or something. i had to get it out with my shoe, and then it burned my eyebrows"....."why would you put your foot near your face if it's on fire?"....."yeah, i was making sure the heat was out. wait, my foot? no, it wasn't near my face. i don't know".....hereby the recipient of Greatest Student Ever To Live award
