Korean kids are the cutest kids

I'm still posting retroactively, covering all the things I did my first day and half while I didn't have internet access on a computer with an English keyboard. So this was yesterday that I visited the daycare that my aunt runs, and my my cousin Eun-mi works.


This place is cute. Everything about it is cute.
Look how cute these kids are! Ahhh!
This is Eun-mi, is the cutest pink smock with kitties on the front EVER.I want this to be my work uniform.

I think I was more hindrance than help that day. The kids kept looking over at me, wondering what the big halfie was doing taking pictures. They practiced saying "Hello" and "How are you?" and "What's your name?" to me, and my aunt had them all shake hands with me. While we were shaking hands, I tried to teach them to say, "Nice to meet you," but that devolved into me holding a kid by each hand and bouncing wildly around the room shouting, "Meetchu! Meetchu! Meetchu!" They thought that was pretty funny. Later, Eun-mi was trying to get them to sit and watch a cartoon, but a couple of the boys kept enticing me into mock kung-fu battles. We'd face off, we'd slide across the floor on our socks, they'd knock me over, and I'd get beaten and sat on. One little boy seemed kind of shy, but he hugged my leg, hung on to my hand, and sat in my lap while we watched the cartoon. Eun-mi later told me that he tends to glom onto visiting strangers, and that they worry that one day he'll just follow someone out and away. He was pretty adorable. I'd love to go again, if Eun-mi can put up with me riling all the kids up when she's trying to wind them down.
