Frank needs to worry- because I believe Stanley just hit a three-pointer.


Stanley came into the classroom with a huge smile Wednesday morning and signed up for lunch. He marched over to me like a man on a mission.


“Mrs. Smythe, I had an English Muffin for breakfast this morning! And you know, when I have an English Muffin for breakfast it makes me speak English all day long!”




Huh. Silly me. I thought we’d been speaking English all along.

I do believe Frank is going to have to step up his game if he wants to best Stanley.

Does this mean if I eat Spanish pastries all day, I will speak the language?

If he has French bread, does he speak French all day?

Oui?

I'm so glad you're keeping score. I'd be laughing too hard to manage that.

Sending supooff thoughts to you and your kin.

My students speak a limited and variable version of the language ; -) Lots of Ell and local dialect.

Happy Thanksgiving Vodka. Hope your day was lovely and amazing, just lie you.

Oh, if only that could apply to some of the adults I come across during my day-to-day activities, there would be a whole lot less stress in my world.

VM, I'm thinking you may have to retain Stanley and Frank to ensure you have enough material for your blog next year!

Cause, I'm thinking, surely (hopefully) they threw away the mold when these guys were created.....

I bet next time he eats an English muffin, he shows up wearing a monocle.

So? Did you hear an English accent from him all day long?

Joanna Jenkins said...

Bless his heart. Does Stanley have a twin brother I could borrow for a while :-)
Cheers, jj

Give that boy a fortune cookie and let him pick your lottery numbers!

That kid has talent!

Gaston Studio said...

I would just LOVE to witness a conversation between Frank and Stanley!

Elenka said...

Ha, ha....wait til he has French Toast for breakfast!
Or a Belgian Waffle! Don't really know what language Belgians speak, now that I think about it. Belgian, I guess.

Pastor Sharon said...

So that's why my English is so good?!?!

I'm gonna try Russian tea with it tomorrow just to see if I can at least have an accent!
