Today at school two really awesome things happened. One was awesome because it was amazing and the other was awesome because it was amazingly funny. Let's start with funny....
Ok, so if you are as old as I am (or older) or have a passion for Sesame Street you will know where I'm going with this.
The chef. The guy who is Swedish... can't cook a thing to save his life and "talks" like this "Uda, Fluda, Guda, Buda." You know,
a real Swedish accent. Watch this hilarious youtube video before continuing:

You will NOT be sorry you did!!!
Well I have this one little guy in class, Felix, from Sweden. He's the cutest little guy. I have not seen him come to school yet without his hair sticking up in random cowlick spots. he is also the one who started singing "If you like it put a ring on it" in class the other day. I begin listening to him talk today and although i have not noticed it until today, sure enough he is TOTALLY the Chef from Sesame Street or the Muppets or whatever... they've crossed paths so many times, the two shows, it's hard to keep them straight anymore. He's reading out of a textbook today and this is what I hear (try it with your best Swedish accent) "The-uh plant needs light-uh to make-uh the food-uh." It's just so amazingly awesome. Never EVER in my life had I ever thought that Sweeds actually talk that way. Low and behold, it is so!!!! Amazingly hilarious. It must be that he spends his summers and vacations in Sweden, where he picked up the accent and since it's just after summer vacation... voila-uh
Ok number 2 thing... and this is just awesome because it is. Today we go to hear a girl's choir from a small city in Norway who came to Poland for who knows what reason (I'm guessing maybe Auschwitz.... who knows.) Anyway, they put on a concert for the 3-7th graders. It was amazing! They sang folk songs and wedding marches. They sang traditional Norwegian hymns. A few girls even played musical instruments for us. It was pretty awesome. Too bad I don't have any video. They sang like angels and they were all super nice!!! It was really great!!! international schools really do have some pretty amazing opportunities... where in NOLA are you going to hear a small girl's choir come to sing for your school? haha... no seriously though, amazing day. Poppa de popcorna.
