Cleveland?

One of my favorite classes is my 7:35 on Mondays and Wednesdays. It's all boys and they love talking and being disruptive, but they try to talk to me, which is really all I ask. I have a class before them that is two girls and a boy and they are so quiet. They're good and all - they do their homework and everything, but the silence is unnerving. I wish I could just read a book during that class.

Anyway, on Monday during the boys' class we had a unit about traveling and where you'd want to travel. All of the answers were sports-based - England, Italy and Spain were 3 of the answers. Then the fourth kid says 'Cleveland'. Cleveland? Anywhere in the world and you'd go to Cleveland? 'Teacher, you know Choo?' Ah. He wants to go to Cleveland because Shin-Soo Choo plays for the Indians. I tried to convince him that it'd be better to visit Chicago to see an Indians away game rather than go to Cleveland, but it was too complex trying to explain that so I gave up.

Here's another picture from my fog walk a couple weeks ago:
