Conversation during dinner in the hotel, after the second day of school. . .

The kids were talking about how many different cultures are represented at their new school. Carley had complained yesterday that she's the only one at her small-group table in Spanish class that isn't Korean or Chinese, so not only does she not understand the teacher, who refuses to speak any English, but she doesn't understand the small-group chatter in Chinese. Lindsay and Peter mentioned the many polyglot students with whom they have classes. Carley mentioned there are a couple of girls in one of her classes that speak Hindi.

Tonight, the conversation was somewhat similar. Then this . . .

Lindsay chimed in: There's this kid in one of my classes from Turkey. He was speaking Turkish to me.

Luke: Like this, "Bock, bock bock, bock, bock bock."

I'm still looking for my Turkish dictionary for the translation. Bock, bock.
