Lunch Time

At lunch time, I ate with the students as usual.
Today I ate with junior high 1st graders.
As we were eating, the home-room teacher passed a list of questions for the boy sitting next to me.
The list of questions was already written in katagana English.
Ex: ヂド ジュ エンジョイ ユア ベケション イン タイワン (Did you enjoy your vacation in Taiwan?)
But the boy was too shy, so he ran to his friends and asked his friend to ask me instead.

Boy 1: What do I do…?
Boy 2: Just read it.
Boy 1: I can’t. Why don’t you read it?
Boy 2: Hurry! Just do it!
(After struggling for couple minutes)
Boy 2: Let’s take turns and read a word each.
Boy 1: fine…
Boy 2: You go first.
Boy 1: Why don’t you go first, it’s your idea
(After struggling for a couple minutes)
Boy 2: ヂド (Did)
Boy 1: ……..
Boy 2: Just say it!!!!!!!
Boy 1: ジュ (you)
Boy 2: エンジョイ(enjoy)
Boy 1: ユア (your)
Boy 2: ベケション (vacation)
Boy 1: イン (in)
Boy 2: タイワン (Taiwan)

I couldn’t stop laughing.
