"Megan (the second grader, not me...hopefully) will probably have a job with her name on her shirt."

Second hand clothes are delicious because someone has already paid the original price and broken them in for you.
Second hand experiences are also delicious because someone has already broken into laughter in a public place for you.

A nugget from Jacob's 3rd day as a French immersion 2nd grade student teacher:

Teacher: Who can tell me what a comma does?
[silence]
T: It's a button on your VCR...
Megan raises her hand so high that it might actually shoot out of it's socket if she is not called on.
T: Megan?
Megan: OFF!!
T: Nooo, it starts with a P.
Eric's hand shoots up, he braces it with his other hand to keep it in-socket. Fingers wiggle.
T: Eric?
Eric: POWER!!!!
T: Nope...

These kids know French, and I do not.
Probably more to come.
