Kids, eh?

I forgot to share, over Christmas, something which happened on my last day of teaching before the holidays. I was talking to my CE1 class (the youngest in the school) about Christmas traditions that we have in the UK, and was telling them about the Queen's speech. Because they all seem to be pretty obsessed with the royal family out here, the teacher pounced on that and started talking generally about the Queen to the class. So she asked them what the Queen was going to be next summer, as it had just been announced that Kate was going to have a baby. One the kids, obviously slightly confused, went "Pregnant!"

I swear, I was so unprofessional, I just sat down and laughed till I cried. I felt a bit bad but I just couldn't stop myself. Fortunately the whole class seemed to find it hilarious, although I think after a while they were just laughing at how much I was laughing. Last Monday the teacher even brought it up again to the same boy who said it, which I thought was rubbing it in a bit unnecessarily.

In other news, I am very very distressed that I am not going to be able to see Les Mis for AGES. I thought last year that it was coming out in December, so I'd be able to see it over Christmas. Then I found out it was the middle of January, so I resigned myself to seeing it in French. However, it's not coming out here till the 13th February. FEBRUARY! Not. Impressed. At all.
