Just 2 quick stories to (hopefully) make you smile!

I have only one German student, and this week, he is our "hand monitor," meaning he is in charge of making sure the students wash their hands before going to lunch and at other times during the day.
Yesterday, a lot of the students were rushing through washing their hands, and not doing as good of a job as he thought they should - he takes his job very seriously! He actually ran after a couple of them to make them come back and do a better job! Towards the end of the line, when I could tell he was being very harsh on them for not washing their hands properly, I almost said "looks like we've got a hands-Nazi here!" Fortunately, I thought before I spoke. Not only is he German (and I've learned that Germans are still ashamed of their history), but none of the other students would have understood at all! No Seinfeld here to teach about soup-Nazis, either!

We've been studying the prefix "omni" in Bible - omnipresent, omniscient, etc.
Today, one of my students made a very sweet acrostic with my name (Miss Carroll), putting a nice adjective for every letter. For the "o" in Carroll, she wrote "omnigood"!!
