So, I have a sign outside of my door, featuring me both as a kindergartner and a grown up (HA!  I'm not a grown up...)  Here it is:

So, at the end of my day, one of my Vietnamese students looks quizzically up at the sign.
"Mr. Graham, was that you when you was in kindergarten?"
"Yes, it was!"
"Mr. Graham...."  (long pause)  "No offense, but you was kinda ugly as a kid."

Buh.  Ouch.
And who taught her "no offense"?  No wonder she tested out of ESL services...
