Some more kiddos

Let's see, this first picture is of one of my sweetest students, and not just because his name is Tiger. He chose Tiger because it denotes strength. No joke, he told Mrs. Paula that (she speaks pretty good Chinese). Today, he carried around the peanut bag and made everyone promptly deposit their peanuts in the bag. If I held on to some peanuts too long, he looked right at me and said in a firm voice, "Mr. Jon." Then I would drop the peanuts in and he would say, "Thank you, Mr. Jon." Hilarious. Next up are some boys whose names I don't know. The boy in the middle's favorite English word is "marker" and he likes to say it a lot. I guess I deserve it, I don't know his name. Next up is a girl whose name I don't know either. Oops again. Rhoda's picture is fourth. Rhoda is super cute and I think I wrote about her earlier. She likes to say hi to me and sometimes she wears these super style white-frame glasses. Last but not least is another boy whose name I don't know. He broke the root off the sweet potato and wanted to show me.







I thought I should add, like I was saying they were all serious about digging. I definitely got bored with the whole thing WAY before they did. We dug for almost two hours maybe, and I was done with the whole digging thing after about 15 minutes. They might've dug all day. Is that normal? Is that sad? Thankfully the peanuts were slightly more exciting.

Slightly.
