When I was little I thought that when people died in movies the actor died too. Like, he believed in the film so strongly that he agreed to be shot to death so the movie would be good. And this was years before The Crow.

Powaqoatse posted:also i believe this is the origin story of rihanna You are correct! When I was in first grade, my mom took me to see Jesus Christ Superstar- kind of a rite of passage in the area I grew up in; everybody does it at least once if you like drama and some people have been doing it over thirty years. Anyways, at the end you could go onstage and talk to the actors, and I refused because I thought it was the real Jesus and he would be mad at me for not being Christian. That was the year I got bullied a lot for not going to church. Oh, and just because Windex is a pretty color and you want blue cookies doesn't make it a good idea to pour it in cookie batter.

I took over some junior high classes this month because the teacher got fired for forcibly smelling the kids' fingers. No, I don't know what the gently caress. ME: "So, this is the last time we're going to have class together." KIDS: *various shrieks of disgruntlement* They like me because I dance a lot and don't have to give any homework for these classes. KID 1: "What about next term?" ME: "No, I'm afraid not." KID 2: *slams books on desk* "Jesus!" KID FROM LAST WEEK: "Fleta, do you remember my favorite book?" ME: "Out of Africa, right?" KID: "Yes! Have you read it?" ME: "Yes, I have. Shouldn't you be going to lu---" KID:  "WAIT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!"She then proceeded to tell me the entire plot of the book, explain the plot of the movie, and then tell me how many Oscars it won. And then how many movies won how many Oscars over the past ten years. I made one of her classmates prepare a lunch tray for her because it was about 20 minutes of nonstop talking and I was worried she wouldn't eat. ME: "There's one very famous and special summer camp in the USA. Can you guess what it is?" KID 1: "American military camp?" KID 2: "SHOOTING GUNS CAMP!!!!!!!!" He's obsessed with guns. And sneaking up to scare me from behind. His rationale was, "Now I scare you so many times that we will become friends." There are also two returnee kids in my classes. I felt bad for them, but they seem to be enjoying themselves even though there's no way the material is challenging enough for their levels. Forty to fifty kids in one classroom usually means only the first few rows are paying attention, but these kids are pretty good. (The other school sucks donkey balls and the kids are crammed into the rooms- with no AC- so tightly that many of them can't even see the board/screen.)

Selected quotes from a 3rd-6th grade speech contest a couple years ago: "I'm the little honey bunch in my family." "I want to go to Central Park and try real American traditional food, especially hamburgers, because I saw a big hamburger on TV and it looked so delicious." "I don't mean we have to go back to the primitive world, but I'd like to say that we have conquered cellphones, and not be slaves to them." "Ladies and gentlemen! Be a wise cellphone user!" "Can you guess what my dream is? Here are some hints: Jang Young-Sil, convenience, surprising things, laboratory, Edison." She wants to be a scientist. "Once upon a time, God called together all mountain tops to Geumgang Mountain to make the mountain the best in the world. God wanted the mountain to have 12,000 peaks. The Rock in Ulsan heard the news, so it headed for Geumgang Mountain. The the Rock was so big and it rested near Seorak Mountain for one day. Next day, the Rock arrived there, but Geumgang mountain had already 12,000 peaks, so the Rock couldn't join in. It was very sad, but it couldn't go home because it didn't like to lose face. It looked around and took a seat there, where it rested until today." "We hung flags on our houses. It looked like our ancestors were dancing in the wealth of Korea." "Most people care for themselves, being selfish and freaking out so severely." I loooooove "freaking out severely" and now use it in everyday conversation.

I used to think this and also that period pieces were filmed in the time they were set in. Oddly I gradually realized that wasn't the case, like clearly there weren't movies being made in Ancient Greece, but I thought Grease was still filmed in the 50's. My sister recently beat Breath of the Wild, while she was watching the end credits my nephew kept saying "Bye bye Zelda" over and over to try and convince her to turn it off so he could play more Mario Kart 8.

My 5-year-old daughter grabbed the old FFIII SNES cartridge and asked me to play. I gave her full control over party composition and character names, and here's what we've got so far: Terra = Tora Locke = Locket Edgar = Quatzo Shadow = Jayjay Sabin = Opie Cyan = Quatza Gau = Y'ur (she wanted 'wire', but it had to start with a Y for some reason) Celes = Ridair Setzer = Tuna Mog = Google

Over lunch with the entire family, my niece randomly blurted out to her grandmother " When I am an adult, you're going to be dead." and then just kept eating. No one wanted to correct her, because she isn't really wrong, but it was a very odd thing to say.

I just found out today when driving home with his kids, my brother would occasionally go around a couple extra blocks right before their house informing the kids that he needed to "throw the group of international assassins following them off their tail" Apparently, the youngest actually thought there were assassins until she was about 10 years old.

Playing Apples to Apples with my sixth graders back in Korea: STUDENT 1: "Teacher, what's this card?" ME: *looking* "Oh! Boogers. Um...a delicious treasure inside your nose." (Students squeal with appropriate disgust) Later in the game... STUDENT 2: "Teacher! He is on a treasure hunt!" *points to his friend, who is picking his nose* Black card: "I want to buy [ ]." Someone put down "North Korea." JASMIN: "HAHAHAHA TEACHER OH MY GOD LOOK!" ME: "I want to buy...North Korea? Wow, I bet that'll be expensive." JASMIN: "No. It's so cheap. Only 100 won. Nobody wants this." e: Fixed an English mistake.

My cousin and his wife took their little boy to a restaurant the other day, and as they're getting ready to leave he suddenly looks at them and declares, 'Cars don't have boobies on 'em, silly goose! They have wheels on 'em!' Indeed little man, indeed.

So I have a weird kid. He doesn't really talk, well he does but its his own language. The kid is smart and has since ordered a dozen skins for crossy road and ordered me horror books before I locked down my Kindle. He is 2 and loves video games and horror The other day he took an old Halloween demon mask put it on me and then kissed it. He also tried to gouge my eyes out. We have been working with his teachers to get him to talk more, so far he does simple words and is starting to do sentences. Although the other day I did notice him saying "sheet,cock" over and over again. It took me a while to realize that he mean poo poo gently caress. Which according to my wife is something I repeat over and over again when I am frustrated or trying to concentrate. He is also an Arctic Monkeys fan and will find their videos whenever he has access to Youtube.

Shortly after my daughter turned 5 she asked for a ton of construction paper and started drawing a bunch of pictures by herself. After probably half an hour or so she asked me to staple them together, and once I did she proudly said that she wrote a book. I chuckled, not really believing that's she'd actually drawn a story with all those pages, but then she sat down and started reading/singing it to me. She had written a book based on the Five Little Ducks nursery rhyme. Only instead of ducks they were giganotosauruses, and instead of "Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!" the mother said "ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!" For each verse, there was a page of small shaded giganotosauruses going over a small hill away from their mother, a page with the mother roaring, and a page with the babies coming back. The final page had the whole family together again, and they all had ^_^ faces to show they were happy. And yes, she sang the whole song, and replacing "duck" with "giganotosaurus" made the rhythm incredibly awkward (and adorable)  U-DO Burger posted:My 5-year-old daughter grabbed the old FFIII SNES cartridge and asked me to play. I gave her full control over party composition and character names, and here's what we've got so far: The names continue... Strago = Hotdog Relm = Shupie And my kids' favorite character is by far Ultros. My son and daughter thought "Yaooch! Seafood Soup!" was the most hilarious thing ever and now all they want is for me to fight Ultros again. Thank god he's a recurring boss fight.

Out of Africa Girl is messaging me about movies: OOAG: have you saw the movie. Brokeback mountain. it tells about homosexual. the movie make many people be sad and cry. ME: Yes, it was really sad. I did cry, and I don't usually cry at movies. OOAG: oh, but you know many people China hate homosexuals. They can't change their ideas about homosexuals. And my mom, too. OOAG: and I think I'll change to be homosexual to make my mom be angry. ....as I was typing this up, she came out to me. Did not expect that. Good kid, I hope she doesn't hide in the closet her whole life. e: Does anyone know good resources for young gay and/or trans kids that are not on Youtube? ee: I asked what Dad thinks and the response was "He's like a tree to me" which is pretty loving hilarious.

I took my five-year-old daughter to see The Little Mermaid (the stage musical) at a local musical theatre venue. This was her first live theatre experience, and her first musical theatre performance, so we discussed etiquette beforehand. Among the rules, of course, is "don't sing along". Before the show, everyone stood to sing the national anthem, and as we do so, she urgently tugs my arm; I lean down, and she says into my ear: "Everyone's breaking the rules! They're singing along!"
