Today we got a new Portuguese girl in our class. Her name is Luca or Leila or something, and Pops got to be her mentor and had to introduce her to the toilets using demonstrative sign language. She speaks no English at all so took a notepad round with her to write down all those complicated English words and we had to repeat a lot of them.
When Bud was at school, a new boy landed in the boarding house with no English at all and the first word he was taught was gang-bang, which is a kind of mass pillow fight between the dormitories. Lula/Leica had her work cut out getting her head around weewee.
Today we learned that good old Rootin' Tootin' Tutankhamen was named Tut when he was younger, probably got stick at school.
But then we took Poppy home and discussed Superheroes (Wander Woman - because she's always lost, and Spiderwoman, scared of herself) and played dens a bit (although we built separate dens and retired to them to read Horrid Henry) and she went into the loft and suggested we made it into a bedroom. In the end we ate chocolate with Phineas & Ferb.
