In second grade, the directions were to make a sentence with “manners”.

“Today I didn’t see the sewer don’t [have] cover so I drop inside and my mother asked what manners with you.”

In fifth grade, I asked them to tell me about some big changes that families go through.

- having a baby
- parents getting a divorce
- when your father… no no, your uncle, want to be a girl

Then yesterday, I get this line.

“Not very no more need to do.”

I have no idea what he was trying to say. I wrote it up on the board for help, and no one could translate.
