I've been reading the perennial Canadian classic The Hockey Sweater by Roch Carrier to the grade threes this week.
Me: And does anybody know what language they speak in Quebec?
Kid1: Spanish!
Me: Noooo, here's a hint, it's Canada's other official language.
Kid2: Ooh, Indian!*
Eventually, we did get the right answer. But still.
*(I'm not sure if he meant one of the Native languages, or Punjabi or Hindi. But I'm guessing part of it came from having other kids in the class who speak Spanish and Punjabi.)
Have noticed someone else using my Rick Mercer icon. Not sure if I'm annoyed enough to say anything, or it's not worth the hassle. I know it's the one I made because I'm still not happy with how the text turned out. Hmm.
