Am I in trouble?


I may have gotten myself in trouble the other day. The day was wednesday or 'miercoles.' And then, at that moment, I had a vision of someone who, in an effort to not say "mierda" says 'miercoles.' So, there on the spot, I taught the kids that saying "miercoles" can be like saying "Oh my gosh!" in an effort to avoid a taboo word. I had them repeating "Oh miercoles!" in unison, it was great.


So, the next day, I asked a question, a student raised the hand but still hadn't found the answer in his notebook. He was taking a long time when one student shouted, "MIERCOLES!" It was funny.
