  A funny incident happened with the cultural programs today in my mom's class. Well they were running rather long, and since Monday is a half day at my mom's school she said that students who brought food as part of their presentation should present before the day was ended. Well the all the kids that had brought food presented and then it was time for the kids to go to lunch (the have lunch before they leave for the day). As the kids where lining up this one student came up to my mom and said he forgot to present as he showed her some California rolls he brought to share with the class. As time was pressed, my mom asked if it would be possible for him to bring some more tomorrow. He said that would be fine and that he would eat his presentation for lunch.
At the time I didn't think to much of this---just thought he was a forgetful kid. Well my mom came home today and told me that his mom came in during the afternoon to fetch the boys math book (apparently he is very forgetful). My mom explained the situation, to which the mother replied "I tried to convince him that California rolls were not part of Korean culture, but he really wanted to bring them.
Tonight we will work on a poster about Korean food". Ha--the kid was not even Japanese--which was obvious if you looked at him--but I didn't even make the connection when he held out the California roll. Apparently it was his intention all along to eat it for lunch---got to love sneaky kids.
