"I'm Sorry, I Was in the Toilet"

A student was late to one of my classes,

causing a disturbance when he slid open the door,

making the Japanese-English teacher

descend.

"Apologize!"

she said.

"Osoku natte gomen--"

the student began.

"In English,"

she snarled.

"Wakannai!"

the student groaned.

"I'm sorry I was late..."

she prodded,

grabbing his shoulders

to make him stay put.

"I'm sorry I was late..."

the student grumbled.

"I was in the toilet."

the teacher finished.

"I'm sorry I was late. I was in the toilet,"

the student mumbled before flashing me a grin.

And I managed to nod at him

before turning

and hiding a huge grin myself.

Yeah,

I'm still immature enough to

find that word choice funny.

Perhaps the teacher learned

her English from a Brit.

If so, that's fantastic;

Means more of these moments will come.
