The ALT I'm working with now at my part-time school is a guy named Maia from New Zealand (the "from New Zealand" isn't part of his name). I'm learning all kinds of things about that country now unrelated to kiwis or Lord of the Rings! That's kind of neither here nor there, but I told him I'd mention him in this post instead of just stealing his anecdote.
The other day Maia shared with me an English riddle that one of his students constructed. I think the cultural awareness of this kid is brilliant! The riddle is:
I am never angry.
I am overworked.
I am yellow.
What am I?
Can you guess the answer? I'll give you a hint - it ain't Big Bird.
