I've been tutoring my kids.  That is going well.  I got tickled at one of my boys this week, we were talking about proverbs - sayings.  This is approximately how the conversation went.

 

Me: So do you have any?

Paul: Any what?

Me: *internal eye roll* Sayings....do Koreans have any sayings like, "Time flies when you're having fun"?

Paul: No.

I stare at him for a minute.  I close my eyes briefly, I try looking at him through my closed eyelids, but this does nothing.  Blinking.  I narrow my eyes.  I know he's wanting me to change the subject, but I just can't let go....not yet.  So I try again.

Me:  Surely, in Korea you have a few things you say.

Paul: Like what?

Me:  I don't know, that's why I'm asking you.

Paul: Oh.

Me:  So do you have any?

Paul: Yeah, we have one.

Me: Well, what is it?

Him: *deep sigh*  "It's like giving a pie to a baby."

Me: *squinching up my face, possibly closing one eye* Paul, what does that mean?

Him: Oh, wait a minute.... It's not right... uh..... It's like taking candy from baby.

Me: Paul, I think that might be one of ours.

Him: Oh.
