My primary schoolers were playing this game where I scatter ABC cards around the room and the kids take turns calling out letters, which the others dash to pounce on. Lots of fun and really perfect for wiggly, energetic kids.
Well there's this one kid, he's overweight, lazy, arrogant and completely full of himself; utterly un-Japanese but not surprisingly he takes to American English like a fish to water...I love him!
He decides to choose one card and camp out by it, with his hand hovering above it. He figures one card is enough to demonstrate his brilliance, and eventually that card has to be called. And the other kids are having a laff about it, too.
But when that card got called he was busy arguing his perceived brilliance with the group, and another kid snatched it right out from under his paw. His reaction?
He could be a senator back in the States!
