funny kids!

one of my favorite classes is in marugame. there are 5 students ages 4-6 who are very smart and keep me laughing. i took my camera to school one day so i could take a picture of these guys. it was harder than i expected to get 5 little bodies who don't speak much english to pose for a photo, and it went a little like this...

take 1: click...."oops, kenny! you had your eyes closed. lets try again." (i love his t-shirt, by the way. nacho libre, anyone??)


take 2: click..."d'oh! kenny!! why did you put your hands over your face? c'mon!"


take 3: click...."kenny!! what's with the weird face? what are you trying to do to me? and pearl, why are your fingers in your mouth? guys, this isn't that difficult!"


take 4: click...."kenny, really? what the...? one more time and that's it!"


take 5: click...."finally, a shot we can all live with, i guess."
(left to right: william, james, pearl, lily and, of course, kenny)
i love these little guys! they are too funny!

Bec - I had to laugh at this post - the kids are SO cute and your commentary - priceless! :)
I could just picture the whole experience as it happened.
All American names, hmm? That's so funny.

they all have japanese names. but the school gives the kids english names when they start classes. and i am very glad for that! it would be hard to learn all their japanese names.
