• Arguments with Children

  Arguments with children…I don’t know why I even allow myself to be suckered in – EVERY SINGLE TIME. Perhaps it’s some kind of vague ambition to truly educate, and make a difference…so that years in the future the now fully grown child reminisces and admits: “He was right!

Listen…I know I am technically a grown man and all that kind of jazz (I’m not but the government forms tell me I am)…but cockroaches freak me out. Am I the only one? I mean…

• HOW NOT TO FACE-PAINT 101!

  So this week we had a “fun day” for the kids because there’s a Korean children’s holiday coming up soon! We sang songs, did some arts and crafts, and there was even a magician! Such laughs, such jokes, such jolly good fun!  Then a big horrible monster of a man ruined it. As soon as he came…

• Poo-Poo Monkey

  You know…the unfair thing about playing with kids is…well, it’s unfair.  You enter into the game like any other – thinking it will be a level playing field (because that’s how games should be right?!) but you quickly find it will be anything but.

• I’m Kim Yuna!

  The kids always ask me what my Korean name is – and so I always wind them up by saying it’s Olympic gold medalist “Kim Yuna”…they get freaked out, and I act all surprised as to what the problem is… “WHY?! Huh?! What do you mean?! My name is Kim Yuna!” …well yeah, suppose I should have…
