Stories that will bring a smile to your face

1. There is a stray dog that is always on the compound of school, the kids have taken to calling him “Chico.” Well, yesterday as Katie and I, along with some other volunteers, were walking out of school Chico came running up behind Katie and tried, unsuccessfully, to bite her bum. I was behind her and stared half in horror and half in amusement as this dog was jumping and playfully trying to bite anything its mouth came in contact with. I nearly fell over with laughter once I realized that she was not harmed.   
2. A couple weeks ago we were walking with Joana, a six year old little girl who is quite close with us volunteers. We were singing the ABC’s together.  You know the little saying at the end, “now, I know my ABC’s, next time won’t you sing with me?” Well, apparently the kids here don’t know that version, instead they sing: “teacher, teacher, no lash me, now I know my ABC’s.”  I was at first struck with the hilarity of it and then I shuddered at the improper grammar.
3. Katie and I were walking to lunch and as is usual, Katie was talking a mile a minute, giving me the morning update and I was nodding my head and listening intently. And then she bit it. All the way down. Before I could help her, laughter was bursting through my mouth and she was frantically grabbing my arm to get back up. Oh, and this was during lunch so about half the school saw. 
4.     The kids have decided that Mr. Joe and I are irrevocably and hopelessly in love with each other. Mr. Joe teaches math and I teach religion, a likely match indeed. Consequently, every time I misspell a word or mess something up they scream “ayyyy! You’re in love with Mr. Joe!” I am just too distracted to teach. It’s quite tragic though, volunteers aren’t allowed to date each other.
