Idaho Potatoes

Today I taught my kids class how to say chicken sandwich! Probably the most valuable English word they have learned.


I have one student (businessman in his mid-40's) who speaks in a deep broken monotone voice. He sounds like an excited, and slightly confused robot. Here is a conversation that we had today.

Your's Truly: Where would you like to go on vacation?
Excited Robot: Idaaaho.
Your's Truly: Hahaha, Why Idaho?
Excited Robot: To eat potaaatooo.
Your's Truly: Seriously, where would you like to go?
Excited Robot: Miami.
Your's Truly: And why do you want to go to Miami?
Excited Robot: Miami Vice is a good TV show.

Sadly I have been to Idaho to eat Idaho potatoes.


While I was at the convenience store I overheard two college girls talking about Obama. I think they said he is cute, I heard the words Obama and kawaii (cute). It is not surprising considering that Japanese girls think everything is cute.
