Today one of my 5th grade kids came running up to the window of the teachers' room shouting 'Sha-ri sensei, Sha-ri sensei!' so I opened the door to see what the commotion was. 'Kumo, kumo' he shouted. Eeeek! I hate spiders! Then he said 'fishbone' in perfect English. WHAT?!! Now I was really confused. He said 'fishbone' again and pointed to the sky. Then it dawned on me. I always forget that kumo also means 'cloud'. How the hell he knew the word 'fishbone' I shall never know! The kids pick-up the weirdest words and phrases!
Anyway, he told me that I should grab my camera nad take a photo of the beautiful 'fishbone' cloud. So I did!
