So I'm walking the dog in the park the other day, minding my own business, and I see this pack of like 80 wild kids ahead of me. I'm all thinking "Woo-hoo! Let the nightmare begin!" Sure as gravity, as soon as I get near them they start jumping around and screaming and grabbing themselves, and I'm thinking "Why, oh why, haven't I ordered that gas gun yet?" and then this cute little girl who must have been about 5 years old runs up and screams "FIRE EGGS!!!".

For those of you who don't know, "fire eggs" is the English translation of a Korean word lifted from the Chinese which means BALLZZZ. And I'm all like "What in the hell prompts a 5 year old to scream out 'Balls!!' at the drop of a hat?" and then it hits me....These kids all have tourettes!! To a MAN!

It's like a reflex with Korean kids. When you see them on the street they can't but help say "Puck You!" or "Fire eggs!" or "Teacher panty!" because their feeble little minds are being controlled by an insidious disease, and their parents don't even know!

Well, fortunately one can order anti-psychotic drugs from Canada on the cheap, so my students are going to be winning SPECIAL PRIZES during class from now on...***

Funny you mention it, I was at Muju over the weekend and some little kid ran at me and yelled 'fire'. Maybe he forgot the last part or has dementia in addition to his tourettes.

It usually occurs when your back is turned. He probably looked directly into your eyes and felt true F.E.A.R. for the first time in his life.

I once walked by a pack of high school boys who immediately began yelling "OOOHHH...SEXY!" followed by "I love you!!"

As soon as I had passed them and was a few feet away, one of them yelled, "I NEED YOU!!" I couldn't help it. I busted up laughing. A lot of times I see these events not as annoying so much as entertaining stories to tell folks back home.

There is definitely an inner-something willing these tinkers to blurt obcenities.

Yesterday, the word "vacuum" popped up in a phonics class and the response from my 11-13 year old subjects was waves of laughter followed by "Teacher! Fu*kuum?".

Just like my discussion of the Civil War somehow became the "Shebal War". Those little rascals.

Ok I'm now prepared for a barrage of the latest catchphrase.

Last week it was "STALKER"!!. They must've heard it on a TV show or something. Either that, or they've been watching the typical behaviour of courting Koreans.
