A few Petru-sisms

all from November/December 2010

# Petru called a friend "stupid" and he got sent to the principal. She helped him write the word "stupid" on a piece of paper, and told him to put it in his pocket and look at it rather than say it, when he gets the urge. The she gave him cookies. How awesome is that? ACC is the best, I tell you. Petru told me about this at home, but realized he lost the paper. Next day, he went to the principal and asked for another note, which he put in his pocket.

# Petru told me that he told teachers at school that "cam tampit' (means stupid in Romanian) means please.

# He is very excited that St Nicholas is coming on Dec 6th. This is a Romanian tradition which we follow. Chris told him that kids who are not good get coal (not part of the romanian tradition..). Petru almost started crying. When I asked him why he is sad, he said "I am a little worries, I might get coal".

# This morning he collected all our shoes because "They are bigger and St Nicholas can fit more presents in it".
