Quick saturday post

What did I do today?

I ate bear soup!  Yeah, bear meat.  That was a new one.

I went to a small festival of sorts today where Alaina was carving pumpkins with kids.  So first, I helped out with that, and then a guy offered us bear soup.  Kim and I decided to give it a try.  haha.  In all honesty, if I had not know it was bear, I probably would have just thought it was beef.

Another funny story.  I was waiting for the stage performances to start (one of my students was in a performance) and these girls came up to me, one of the group had been at the pumpkin carving earlier, so she knew my name.  But here is the conversation I had with some 5 year old girls tonight.

Girl from pumpkin carving: "This is Elissa.  She is a teacher!"
Other girl:  "Oh, really?   But, you look like an American!"
Me:  "I am an American!"
Other girl: "So, why are you in Japan?"
Me: "I am an English teacher."
Other girl: "Oh, right.  How old are you?"
Me: "24"
Other girl; "Oh!  You are younger than my mom!"

I thought it was a pretty funny conversation.  The things that kids say!

Anyway, that is all.

  1. If she had said OLDER than my mom, I would have been worried.
