NSFW (and other letters)

Apologies for the blogging go-slow... I've been on the go in London town ;)and up at Reading for the festival and out of wifi range. (awesome time) Anywhoooo...

One of the classes that I developed for our ESL (English Second Language) theme park is about an alien who has a broken spaceship. We talk about space and the things we can see in space and then we have to go on an adventure to different parts of the world (desert, ocean etc) and do different challenges in order to find the pieces of the missing spaceship so that the Alien can fly back to his home in space.

Before we can begin our mission around the world, we have to build a mini crazy character profile for the alien - you know, a bit of an ice-breaker and to encourage the kids to speak freely and get warmed up for the class...

kid points to Venus on the Solar System Map.

Gaaah. VENUS. of course it is.

Note the completely defeated expression of hopelessness on young Asian child's face and realise that if exposed, this single moment of humilation may make him never want to speak english again in his life, ever.  Executive Decision: Just. go. with it.

and that was the day i endorsed Penis as a delectable treat for green Aliens to a class of 10 year old Asians. oh my life.  - the end.
