Weighed...Wade?

The second grade classes at the boys' school are working on the "life skill" of explaining to someone how to do something. Last year, Drama King wrestled on the local jr. wrestling team. It was a very interesting season to say the least. Since this was something he knew he could do, he chose to tell people how to wrestle. He was telling us in the car yesterday as we drove to church what his directions say. On the very first line, he wrote "First you take off all your clothes, except for your underwear and socks." I thought,"oh great this is gonna be good". Smart Guy said, "Did you tell them you had to go get weighed?". Drama King's response, "Who's Wade?". Well, there ya go, another reason American English is so hard to learn.

I just hope they don't have to actually demonstrate their instructions in class like I can remember doing when I was in school. Guess we'll just have to make sure his underwear and socks are clean that day!!!!!!!!
