Happy Birthday to my husband, tomorrow!
I've been subbing for an art class in the afternoons, and I've had a lot of fun listening to elementary aged kids say funny things. Yesterday I heard some interesting pronunciations and definitions that I thought were worth sharing:
caffi-chino= cappuccino
hobo= someone who rides a train and eats beans out of a can
hobo #2= someone who can't afford cable
happy memorial day weekend!
