"The tutors are coming! The tutors are coming!"
I yelped after mom and dad announced that they found people to help us with our homework.
"Wait,"I said"Are they tooters or tutors?"
"Of course they're tutors."Mom assured me.
"When are they coming?"I asked.
"Well, tonight at six." Mom said.
"Oh,"I sighed,"Good!"
I was glad that I was getting help with the homework that I couldn't do.
And that's all Saylor wrote, since she spent all of her time changing the color of her font in this lovely narrative. We really did have a similar conversation (but I thought Coleman was the one that needed the clarification). We are happy to have April and Sean helping the kids with their mounds of homework four nights per week. Not only do they help with homework and language skill, but they are becoming good friends. The kids love spending time with them, and it seems to be reciprocated. They play Ultimate Frisbee every Saturday (see Coleman's blog) and even took first place in a competition in Beijing last fall. Sean has already graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering, and is looking for a job, while April (his girlfriend) finishes her degree. So, Saylor, do I really talk like that?
