H-kun fell flat on his face the other day. And I laughed really hard. I know, I know! I've got the teacher honorific attached to my name. I should be more professional right? But this was just plain funny.

Shaddap.
I decided to hang out with the first-year kiddos at recess the other day. There's a little outdoor walkway on the second floor, where they like to hang out when the weather's nice. H-kun thought it would be funny to do front rolls and cartwheels. Indeed, this isn't ideal behaviour in the hallway. Still, I stood around to see what would unfold.
Every time he psyched himself up for a cartwheel, his friends on lookout would yell: "Hey, teacher!!" And every time, H-kun got flustered and fell on his face. I think this kid watches too many movies on satellite TV, because H-kun would then look over his shoulder and retort: "Shut up!" in English. He is the same kid who told me: "See you, baby!" when he was a mere fifth-grader two years ago in elementary school.
I was pleased that he used English to get some peace. Maybe it w/asn't the nicest way to say it, but it was in English. Funny how I have to grasp at straws, eh.
I know, I know. I'm a teacher. I shouldn't condone such behaviour. Shut up?!
