Noah's Smarter Than a Librarian....

I love the HCLS (Howard County Library System) for many reasons. They always have amazing, free programs for kids that (usually) teach them about exciting, new places and cultures and are always pretty fun. Each week, we've gone around the world and the kids are transported to a new country. A couple weeks ago, it was France, next week - China and this week was Kenya.

Too bad the librarian this week was geographically challenged and Noah called her out. She had Ethiopian currency, not Kenyan and said "same difference." Then, she pointed to South America instead of Africa. Common mistake? Once she landed on the right continent, she pointed to Nigeria, Tanzania and then finally, Noah helped her out and said:

"Kenya is right next to Somalia. See the horn?!?! My mommy's friend walked from Kenya to Somalia once. She went to help save people from bad guys."
(She actually flew, but same difference right?) I really wish I had gotten that on video, it would have been priceless. All the mommie's in the room were dying laughing.

Lesson to be learned: You don't have to be an expert in everything, but my word, do a little research prep before you teach a class. Because you may not be able to get over on little kids. They're smart.

 

 The kids ended by counting to ten and singing greetings in Swahili. Such a big personality....
