Moroccobama

Student: "Miss H, have you heard of couscous?"

Me: "Yes, it's kind of like a special type of rice. It's from the country Morocco. Do you know about Morocco?"

Student: "Like Obama?"

Me: "No. That's Barack Obama."

Student 2: "Oh I know! Those little things you shake that make noise!"

Me: "No, hon. Those are maracas. Morocco is a country in Africa."


Oh, the things these children say. The best part: they've spent half the year studying Africa in Social Studies.
