The elementary school I've been with is a School Laboratory, which means, students from College would go to us and learn how to teach and handle students. At one point, there was this so called "study time" and students with questions regarding the study material would raise their hands and a student teacher would go to them and assist.

I was on second grade and it was "study time." I noticed this cute student teacher from the back of the room, the other student teachers were busy. My friends on my side was snickering, 'cause the book has a part where the topic was "Haji Boto*," it discussed this person clearly. He was a hero with a very funny name in my point of view.

I raised my hand and that student teacher went by my side, while my friends closed their books to prevent her from seeing it (fraidy cats!). She asked, "What's wrong Ron?"

I answered politely, "I was wondering about this person..." and showed her "Haji Boto," with a laugh under my breath. She looked at me and pinched me, "Lain kaayo ka**! hahah." I laughed too.

*boto - penis in visaya
**lain kaayo ka - your bad!
