Is that your natural hair color or do you use dye products?

So Laura and I have been at the American school for 3 days now and have been having some good times. The kids seem to really enjoy having us there and are fascinated by us being American. Laura is in 2nd grade with Ms. Anna and I am in K-5 with Ms. Emily. The kids have been expecting us as we have emailed our teachers before coming here and have generated quite the amount of questions. Here's just some of the questions/ comments that we have been asked/told.
In Laura's class:
1. Is that your natural hair color or do you use dye products?
2. Do you know who Justin Beiber is?
3. Did you know Ke$ha brushes her teeth with a bottle of Jack?
4. (When reading P is for Palmetto to the students) Who is Palmetto?
5. (To Ms. Anna) Is Miss Laura your baby?
6. Can I bring my iPad on the field trip?


In my class:
1. Why is your skin white? (how am I supposed to answer that?)
2. (As she's touching my stomach) You're gonna have a baby. (Gee thanks...)
3. What is that on your face? (It's a zit, thank you for pointing it out)
4. (This seems to be a reoccurring comment) I love your hair! (yessss 1 point for me so far! I may look like I'm going to have a baby but at least I have good hair!)

So as you can tell we have been having quite some time with our kids. the majority of them are Mongolia with  a few other nationalities thrown in there. Our days have been busy since we have to be there all day from 8:15 to 4:15. One of the children in my class celebrated a birthday with a party, as will another one on Monday. Laura's class is going on a field trip tomorrow (Monday) to the 13th century national park. We come home to our apartments every day telling each other stories of the things our kids said that day. We both agree that our kids are CUTE! Hopefully more blogs to come on "kids say the darndest things!"
