Moments of Greatness....The boy behind the words (most of them)

This is Shinee, whose comical words regularly feature on my "Moments of greatness" posts and sent me this Christmas card:

To Corey Teacher, Merry Christmas!
I want a baby boy and Touch Phone.
I love baby boy and you.
Goodbye Teacher.
Shinee, Pak Byong Song

What a lil man! He acts out everything for me with the greatest of facial expressions imaginable and LOVES the word 'maybe'...

'Funny Face'

Korean Pose 

'Grandfather Frog!?'

"Teacher maybe you good"
"Teacher maybe you pretty"
"Teacher you pretty, no maybe, no"


I told him last week: "Shinee your hansome, maaaybe" to which he laughed and had a slight look of pride over the fact I understood his humour. 

Can't you just see what a cheeky lil chappy he is!

He has also told me "maybe I love you Teacher, maaaaybe", to which I mimed "Heartbroken".

It was a close call...

Here's ShineeAfter some time of deliberation, my student 'Shinee' has decided:


"Teacher you are pretty"


Me: "Only maybe though Shinee?"


Shinee: "No, Teacher, you ARE pretty"


and a happy life I shall now lead.


I have to record this kid he is fantastic, last week he had me crying with laughter trying to imitate a 'grandfather frog', later in the class he was dancing frantically with a ball (we were playing 'pass the ball', basically 'pass the parcel') with his lil belly sticking out! He is truely great....


Next week stay tuned.
