Man, this video had me laughing out loud. The kid is taking part in a spelling bee and has to spell 'Heron'. The end result is hilarious. I can't decide whether he's having a laugh or he's just stupid. Check it out. I bet you can't watch all 2 minutes of it without cracking up. I watched it twice, and the second time I still mlaughed out loud even though I knew the plot.

Idiot or born entertainer?

I think it's just a case of 'freeze' under pressure.

That woman's got the patience of a saint. Why doesn't she just tell him to get on with it?

I think he has a hearing problem.

On a tangential note, I was newly assigned this year to go to a tiny rural middle school in Yangyang every thursday. Today was my first day. The front yard of the school was set up like a park with benches right alongside a pristine little lake that happens to be a bird haven. Herons! Dozens of them! A magnificent bird.

The students there were really nice kids but also struggle to spell. You can bet thats one word I will teach them.

Usually when people say, "try to make it through the 2 minutes without laughing...." I purposely put on my frowny face so I can scoff at them....but no....I started cracking up.

Good find.
