You won't like me when I'm angry...

I am so terribly sorry for ruining all your thousands, nay, MILLIONS of lives by not posting in ages. I have so many stories I want to share and have no excuse for not writing them here! There is one story that I just cannot let you live without any longer. I must tell it and will later blog about all the other fun/frustrating/sad/awesome/great/awful things (I know, I know, I'm always promising!).

You may remember the class I used to refer to as my "evil class." I used to dread the arrival of 2:40 when I would walk in and hate life for 40 minutes. Things changed after Eddie's mom took him out for a few days. Not sure exactly what happened (she said she talked to him about needing to be good...), but anything was better than me tossing him out a window. Since the change, I absolutely ADORE this class. They can still be a little naughty but I now look forward to the sweet, cuddly hugs and kisses and little voices shouting, "I LUB you Erica Teacher!" Do you remember Ryan?

He's always been a great student and truly adorable. When I taught him during the promo classes, I saw the first bits of the Power Ranger in him. The kids here love Power Rangers and I love when they become them! Well, one day during class, Ryan was angry. I had no idea what his problem was, but he kept yelling at the other kids when they would answer in English and telling them (in Korean) NOT to speak English! I could not figure out what the issue was but thought it was kind of funny.

Then it happened...

The transformation began with a wrinkle in his tiny nose.

He wrinkled his nose as much as a nose so small could wrinkle and then I heard a low growl.

He was looking right at one of the other students who had just used English!

I gave up teaching because watching a kindergartner turn into a power ranger is way more entertaining.

The next thing I knew, Ryan jumped out of his chair saying something about Power Rangers and BAM, he was in a pose quite similar to this one (actually you can just pick one, as he was in each pose at some point during his fighting scene):

It was just about the most amazing thing I've ever seen! I have NO idea why he was so angry about everyone speaking English during English class but it got better...

As he slowly turned back into Ryan the student, he walked back to his chair to TRY and sit down and...

FAILED! Fell right in the floor and I could not hold back the laughter any longer.

Teaching adorable children really has it's perks: SOMETIMES they morph into angry power rangers.
