Just a few little things I don't want to forget...

The language differences; when they say "why" they don't really want to know why, necessarily. This makes more sense in the context of the phrase "how come it's not" or "how come it ain't". Often "why" is not a request for more depth, but, rather, another way to say "I don't get it".
And fittin', "shut up talking to me", "uh-uh boo-boo", "get your weight up", fittin' ta get whopped", "get you a lick", "you crazy ain't it?" and so many more. Learning a bit of the language has been a huge part of learning the culture...and a little more about the kids.

The way they see, know, notice everything about you; bits of yourself about which you are ashamed, insecurities- many a time I've been amazed at how well the kids pick up on them. It's great, actually. It helps me laugh at it, and work on it.

There's so much that seems so commonplace at this point that I wouldn't even think to write it...
