Cursed


One of my fourth-graders came to me yesterday and asked what "Welcome back," means. Apparently he'd seen it in some movie and was curious. Once he got the answer to that one, he was confident to ask another question.

"Teacher, how do you say bad words in English?"

I smiled and told him I wasn't here to teach him those kinds of things.

He replied with, "I know some already. Son of a bitch. Eat shit."

I couldn't help but laugh. And he just roared when I told him what "eat shit" means in Spanish.

Yep, I'm changing the world, one child at a time.

Loved that.

I totally remember the moment I asked my Spanish teacher to tell us some bad words in Spanish.

I think she gave the same answer.
