My 3rd graders had their language arts pop quiz today and the word "shiver" was in one of the answers. Now, the way that Korean children pronounce "shiver" makes it sound more like "shibal" which is an extremely bad word in Korea. This whole coincidence led one of my students to ask me to tell them naughty words in English. I gave the usual speech about how they shouldn't learn them because if they go to America and say bad words people will cut off their fingers one by one.
Sweet and quiet Clark was sitting in the corner concentrating pretty hard. You could tell that he was desperately trying to remember something. I saw a light bulb go off and he eagerly raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, son of a bitch?"
Don't know where he learned that.
