Korean Kids: Unlikely Duo

Still in the thick of camp and enjoying my time teaching children. Co-teaching is a different story but that goes without saying. Anyways there are two kids I've always liked as students and as individuals.

Mr. Tae Young is in Grade 5 and he's a really goofy and creative kid. He is the definition of a class clown. He's a gangly kid with thin black hair and thick-rimmed glasses. He's always willing to participate in camp and class. Like all Upper Elementary boys, he thinks girls are crazy. Throughout the year he always gets his class laughing by ridiculing the other boys in his class which warrants a couple shots in the arm for the comedian. Whenever we do an activity he always puts a clean and creative spin on it making marking his work a pleasure. He's very well-behaved but he's leaps and bounds above the curriculum so he has some fun with it and I'll endorse whatever keeps him interested. 

Im Young is in Grade 3 and he's very soft spoken. He always has a question to ask me, I always have to lean towards him to hear it, and they always intrigue me. My first encounter with him was on his class' trip to the library and one moron thought he could climb a bookshelf. The bookshelf slipped out from underneath this neanderthal with books tumbling all over he floor. I'll admit I yelled at him for climbing the bookshelf. Im Young told me to "Relax," It caught me off guard and I almost started laughing until I saw the pile of books on the floor. Im Young is built like a house with broad shoulders (for an 8 year-old) and has a very serious demeanor. With his fair skin and thick hair I couldn't imagine he's Tae Young's younger brother!

Im Young was reading the attendance list from last week on my desk and plainly stated that Tae Young was his brother. It does make sense. They have the same last name and Young in their name first name. But seriously, they look and act in two completely separate ways.  I want to meet their parents so badly. I'm wagering one is a monotone game show host and the other is some wacky philosopher or vice versa and each one has a parent to invent something hilarious or ponder the meaning of life in their study. Both are great kids I expect they have amazing parents. Need a roommate?
