Interpreter

I think I can officially add "interpreter" to my resume. Anyone who teaches young children probably knows what I'm talking about.


One of my students came in this morning, came straight to me and said (with excitement), "Miss Bramhall, did you hear about the big salami?!?"

Me: "The what?"

Student: "The big salami...did you hear about it?"

After about 5 more attempts, I figured it out:

salami= tsunami

The news has finally trickled down to second graders in Santaquin, Utah.

That is awesome. Isabel needs cassette tapes for her voice lessons...to be fair, these are new to her. But she reminded me, "We need to get the gazettes, Mom." Took me a minute.
