Today in my piano class, 2 boys, 8 and 9.
The boy reminded me so much of Daniel, his quirky personality, his smile and his logic. Made me LOL never fail.
Anyways, while he was writing his work, he suddenly asked, "今天还是农历7月吗？”
I didn't register what he was asking, for children do not usually ask if it's still the 7th month of the Chinese calendar (ghost month).
The boy sitting opposite him replied bluntly, “不是，今天8月初一了咯。。。”
I broke out into LOL on the spot.
Then I realized what I've gotten myself into. From an English teacher, working with children from very diversed background, here, the children are very Chinese Chinese. I shall need some time to adjust to these...
