The Brazilian

I have a student from Brazil. He is very inquisitive, very dramatic, & usually very tired (ie, asks to sleep in class.)

Today, the "Do Now" was to write about what you did over the weekend & how you felt about it. As he was telling me about his brand new Wii & the Pokemon game he got, he said, "I have Pokemon. I love Pokemon. Pokemon is my life. (Long pause) Wellllll, next to my family."

Then I actually read his written response from his journal & I had to take a picture of it to share with y'all. :) Please note the last 3 lines. (The "translation" is below the picture.)

When I saw the Wii in my house, I cried, I died, and came back to life in 1 second.
