I don't know if I should post this on the Humour thread, but we here we go any way. I teach English as a foreign language, and so for the past week I've had the above three Spanish boys living in my house.
I couldn't believe the names of the boys when I first got the paperwork. They are the last students of the year (finally I get a few weeks off). But hey ho. I should have known that there would be a problem.
Angel is a darling, a short stocky football player (in American that means soccer lol), Jose is a nice, polite boy (who attempts conversation at all costs) which means he wants to learn English and isn't afraid to try, which I appreciate. He also interprets for his friend Angel, who's English isn't so good, but, during the past week has really come out of his 'I can't speak English' shell, and has gained confidence and started to instigate and participate in conversations. And so we chat away!
Jesus, on the other hand, is the rudest boy I've ever met. And that's saying something, after over 10 years of doing this for a living. He also speaks the best English!?
He truly is obnoxious.
I have 2 x questions for anybody reading this.
1. How do I continue to bite my tongue in his presence? And believe me I AM.
2. Why on this God's green earth, in this day and age, would any parent give their child the name 'Jesus'?
