Thanks, I think?

Scene: 8th graders entering room

boy: can we have a fun day?

ignore.

boy: could you tell us stories today? you're so good at telling stories.

ignore. breathe.

boy: maybe we could watch a movie?

talk to someone else close by.

boy: at least can we just have a day where we can speak in English?

me: sure! you can speak in english. but we follow the same rules-so I have to speak only in english, too. this might complicate things.

boy: oh. never mind, then. it's way more fun to watch you try to act it out than just speaking a little english. go ahead with normal class. forget i asked.

me: thank you for your permission.
