So, my cute little minions have expressed interest in starting a Russian language club, as they are irrationally thrilled by the sight of their own names written OMG in the CYRILLIC ALPHABET ("Ai, vato! It has a backwards N!") Naturally, I am thrilled at this, not least because it shows that they actually want to learn something, anything, voluntarily. However, I am concerned that rumor will get around that I am a pinko commie. I mean, I am sort of a pinko, but we don't need to make that public, right? I just don't understand Texas at all. I've learned through bitter experience, for example, that although my part of the state votes Democrat, it is under PERIL OF FIREY DOOM that I say anything critical about Bush, which confuses me. So, knowing that there are several Texans on this board, I ask you. Do you think I'm risking irate parents if I teach the younguns how to conjugate some verbs and make blinchiki?

(P.S.: I teach middle school reading class.)
