"Amí, you are crunchy booger!"

Karla Josie giggled out this sentence in English. "What? I'm a crunchy booger?" I asked incredulously. "Yes! Crunchy booger, crunchy booger!"
After spending one day with the kids, I have noticed a lot of changes. One being that Karla Josie now has a cast because of her broken arm. Another huge change that I have noticed is the kids increased use of English. Steph has done an amazing job with her summer school English class and the kids have been quickly learning English. Although, I don't think I can credit Steph with some of the phrases I have been hearing, but rather, with a variety of workers and workteams here, the course has been supplemented with other English phrases. An example of a few of the phrases would be: "Amy, you old chicken." or an old favorite, "You smell like cow!"

According to some other coworkers, they had a great list of phrases to use with the past workteam...

"Do you want to marry with me?"
"Do you think I am handsome?"
"You are pretty."
"You run like a chicken."

Who takes care of these kids?
In other news, Yaneli looks like a different girl as her two front teeth finally started to grow in. :)

It is good to be back.
