Sometimes it takes a third-grader to make it all clear...

Our story this week is about a little girl who moves to America from Korea. I was trying to get the class to empathize with the main character who was feeling uncertain about life in a new country.

Mrs. B: So, imagine how you would feel going to a new country to live where it was completely different from the way we live here.

Joey: How would it be different?

Mrs. B: Well, for instance, what if you moved to a place where you live in straw huts instead of houses and you didn't have any indoor bathrooms?

Joey: Where would you go to the bathroom?

Mrs. B: Outside.

Joey: How do you wipe your butt?

Justin: With a rock.

Joey: That would itch!

Mrs. B: Um, yeah...never mind.
