I told my parents about Allen but I don't think I mentioned it on here! Allen is a friend of some of the teachers at Bond and he wanted to practice his English. So every morning he picks up Nikki, Ashlee and I and he drops us off at Bond! He is super nice, and very funny, but it can be so hard to understand him sometimes! Our conversations are usually pretty lighthearted, but today he was asking some very very odd questions! Imagine Allen's voice in a thick Chinese accent, and ours very very confused and giggly:
ALLEN: So if mosquito attack you, do you kill it or let it be?
US: we kill it. we don't like bugs.
ALLEN: if plant attack you, do you kill it?
US: umm...where we come from plants don't usually attack people...
ALLEN: oh..haha..what if brother attack you? Do you kill him?
US: no. we defend ourselves..but to kill another person is murder..
ALLEN: what if your parents attack you.. do you kill them?
US: no..you can't kill people, that's murder. You would just defend yourself, even if it was your parents.
ALLEN: oh. what if you attack yourself and then you die?
US: Umm that's called suicide...
ALLEN: oh, okay. Have a great day teaching! See you tomorrow!
Than we all got out of the car, confused and looking at each other like what just happened..it was so funny! Probably one of the most different conversation I have ever had! Though I still like Allen a lot! :)
