Today, Pat was sick. I get so happy on these rare occasions. Emily, who just arrived a couple weeks ago now tutors Pat the hour prior to my tutoring session. Poor kid is stuck in school all day - No chance to be a kid. I guess that is what happens when your parents run a school and are hell bent on educating their children. He doesn't even have any friends... It will be very intersting to see how he turns out when he gets older...
Anyway, Emily hates tutoring just as much as I do. We act like little children every time we get out of it. I swear, If I were just tutoring one of my own kids the hour would fly on by... but tutoring Pat is like pulling teeth.
So today instead of tutoring, I got to sit outside with the fellow teachers and hang out. It was so nice. There isn't alot of time to socialize during school because everyone is in their individual classroom teaching.
In conclusion...
I think that Brian and Sam should have their own show. Sam is like the British version of Brian. Listening to them try to communicate is hilarious. The show would defnilty bring the two countries even closer together. When they are not entertaining us with their bizarre teaching methods and stories of the day, they are wowing us with their other antics.
For example, They both truly believe there is a possibility that they could inherit millions of dollars off an email they received on the internet. To anyone else we would term this as a Scam or Spam, but they really believe they are "special."
Sam received the email on Facebook and Brian received it directly in his yahoo mail. Both replied to it with high hopes. Sam even created another email account just for corresponding with this 'lawyer.' The thing that cracks me up is they think its legit because it addresses them by their last name! The basic layout of the email is that someone died with the same last name as them in another country. The only way to get the money out is to have you sign for it because your last name matches. The inheritance will be split down the middle.
This conversation lasted for more than half an hour. Each one just buliding on the legitamacy of the email. The other teachers, including myself where floored. I believe one teachers response was, "And there are thousands of them out there!"
Everyone loves the guys, we just give them a hard time. If not for them it would be boring around school.
I just don't know if I want to burst their bubble by telling them I got the same email too... with my name on it... however, it went straight to the trash.
