The White People

Well yesterday the white people came, and I guess they're only staying three days, but they did bring us chocolate! A ton of it!

Yesterday was hilarious for so many reasons. We weren't super excited about the WP coming because we didn't know them, but everyone expects us to show them around and stuff because we have this unspoken white people bond, or something. So, we didn't go out of our way to greet them. We had class with Form IIIA while they were touring around, and we would make comments to the kids like "Who are these white people?"

At one point, they looked like they were walking toward our classroom, and we said, more to each other than the kids, "Oh no, they're coming!" They all laughed at us, and asked if we were afraid. I just laughed. But later, one of the kids said "Madame, they are coming. They are in that class now." And when I looked confused, he said "I thought you were afraid." Hilarious! He was warning us in case we actually wanted to run away!

Then, we were reviewing "if" clauses, and one of the kids, Vicent, wrote "If the headmaster was tall, he would be crazy." Now, first of all I just laughed because it's a funny statement, but then I asked him why the headmaster would be crazy. Now, Vicent is a tiny kid. His voice hasn't changed and he's seriously I think 4'5" and really giggly. So, when I asked, he immediately starts laughing and says because tall people like Walter (a notorious Form IV) are crazy. So I asked him if all tall people, and by extension me, are crazy, and he between fits of laughter "Somewhat." I had fun the rest of the day telling other tall people what he said and they would all run after him.
