Ge-re-pi

So I was teaching The Beatles to my 7th Graders this week, and we were using "Let it Be" for a listening comprehension exercise (nice, slow song, not too offensive, right), and boy did they comprehened.

There is this one class in particular, who has three of the most mischevious boys in the 7th grade, and when we got to the chorus, they started singing along with the recording! Now picture me, standing up at the front of the classroom, pleased as hell that I'm finally getting these naughty boys to really participate, and I start singing really loudly with them too - "LET IT BE, LET IT BE, OH, LET IT BE" and they start laughing, and singing even louder! Now the class is having such a great time, that EVERYBODY in the class is belting out the lyrics, and I turn, with a big huge grin on my face, and catch the eye of my Japanese English Teacher, who has turned bright red and looks like she wants hide behind a desk.

I walk over to her and she says, "Maikeru, they are singing "Ge-Re-Pi," which means "I have diahrrea, in Japanese!"

Fuckin' kids. So damn clever.

"Picture words of Wisdom, Ge-re-pi!"
