In my Elementary class (8 year olds) we were discussing a reading on the environment and pollution. I was practicing my Pictionary skills, trying to explain the concept of “leak,” as in, when a ship leaks oil into the ocean and pollutes the water. I had the ship, the oil coming out, the fish dying. We talked for a few more moments, then we were on to factories and how they pollute the environment. I returned to the whiteboard, drawing the factory with smoke billowing from the smokestacks. Hyung Joon (aka Harry), as smooth as can be, says, “Nice, teacher. Very nice. You just put the factory underwater. No wonder the ocean is polluted.” Yet another instance in which I was rendered speechless because of uncontrollable laughter.
