A Snowy Day in Beijing

Subbing in a 4th grade class today.

On the few minutes of break I had in the morning, I had the chance to
explain that this dusting of snowfall would have most likely closed
schools back where I come from.

"Really, no way? Where are you from?"

"Well, DC area, but a little further out, Fauquier County."

"Excuse me?"

"Fuh Kyer County," I said.

Blushing.

"Is that really what it is called?"

"Yep."

"Mate, can you get me some shirts that say that?"
