The Inner Monologue of Kevin, a Seven-Year-Old in Orange Class from Monday, October 26th




Evanteacher always says, "Goooooood morning Orange class!!!!" as soon as he walks in the door. I will respond the loudest while pulling on his shirt to win his affection.


Well, I think my enthusiasm bought me about 10 minutes to do some sweet drawings of John Connor and a few Terminators. I have a goal of 25 Terminators per day, and let's be serious, I can't count on anyone else to draw them.


Ok. He is playing the piano again. He always plays the same songs. Then again, I always play the same songs. Song. The theme from Jaws. Everyone loves it.


I always interpret "Nobody touch the piano!!!" as "Nobody touch the piano, except for Kevin."


I really want to help Evanteacher with the snack today. He seems preoccupied with teaching. I will make him an origami frog as a gift and maybe he will let me carry the milk.


Does he have laser vision?!?! I set up both my books as a shield so he couldn't see what I was doing. 


We have communication phrases everyday. Can't he see that I know this stuff already? "Can I borrow your pencil?" Great. When will I need that? I want help with phrases that are useful! "Can I have a ride on your waterdragon?" or "Yes, I would like to travel back in time."


AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!


Math? I don't think so. More Terminators. This picture will feature a couple tanks, too. Man am I good at drawing tanks.


Ok, he left the room, time to get up and steal someone's eraser. The best part is that I speak English better than everyone, so I can talk my way out of it. Just lots of gesturing and saying "You, Me, Eraser, Me, Evanteacher, You, English, Thank You, Give, You, Me" and then adjust my glasses. It makes me look smart. 


Ahhh, lunch. Time to employ my "chipmunk method" of eating. Jam all the food into my cheeks and pour my soup on my lap.


Allllright.. Lets take a break. I am going to make one of my patented "Live Action Comics" for Evanteacher. First, draw a Terminator. Show Evanteacher the picture, draw a thought bubble above the Terminator's head, scream something in Korean and laugh. Make sure Evanteacher understands he should laugh now, too, even though he has no idea what I am saying. Keep his attention!! Don't let him help other students. Put the drawing in his lap and draw on his shirt!! Now, draw a thought bubble above the dragon, write some words in it and read it to Evanteacher, laugh again, draw lots of missiles from the dragon to the Terminator... thought bubbles above Superman and Optimus Prime... and.. and I think we are done. Another successful Live Action Comic. Nope.. this things needs more blood. Everywhere. Lots of blood.


Theme from Jaws.. I am so money...


Is it time to go already? Awesome. My little brother will be waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. I will hug my grandma while simultaneously slapping him in the chest.. he will never see this coming.


I can't wait to do this all again tomorrow...

  1. Bwahaha! This is classic. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to be a little mouse (in contrast to a big mouse) in your classroom and watch the interactions between you and your students.
