POP GOES THE WEASEL!

...or, maybe we should say, “pop goes the chih-khai (dog)!” Bottom line: there was a lot of pops and a lot of laughs in our English classes today.

When my parents visited us in February, they brought with them a seemingly infinite supply of balloons with which we could teach the kids how to make balloon animals. There's not much to say that the photos don’t convey, so I’ll keep this short.

Most kids managed to make a dog (.../weasel), and some even made a parrot sitting in a ring—which they quickly turned into swords and helmets. The scorching heat of the day made it tough for the balloons to last longer than ten minutes before erupting into confetti and zinging across the room; the few balloons that did last a while quickly made their way into the hands of the 2-year-olds standing in awe at the door.

Mom and Dad: Thanks, it was a hit!
