My Cousin Paul

Sorry it's been awhile since writing, I have been overwhelmed with lesson planning! Ok, so I want to start with a funny story about my cousin, "Paul," who I saw before my trip back to the USA this past summer. To recap, "Paul" is my 5 year old cousin who speaks the best English so far in my Korean family (well, other than me of course, hehe).

I stayed at my grandparents' house to see family before taking my US getaway, and my grandmother happened to be babysitting Paul that evening. I chatted with Paul about the usual things, dinosaurs, farts, and all the animals he knows. Oh and spinning tops. Can't forget about those. So at one point I wanted to take a picture with him, but he wouldn't sit still. Then I tried to take just his picture, and he decided it would be funny to pose and on the count of three attempt to flash my camera, either with his naked torso or his, uh, tiny pepper. However once he got into the flashing mode, it didn't stop. We all sat down to eat dinner and he was still running around with his tiny Korean pepper hanging out of his pants, and my poor one armed grandma was getting pretty annoyed. My Korean isn't great, and I definitely cannot understand old people when they speak Korean. However at the dinner table, my grandmother yelled at my cousin, and all I could make out was, "cousin!!!", "penis!!!", "don't do that!!!" Aish.
