ykylimw #13

you know you live in mongolia when...

...you have the following conversation with one of your students:

Me (dramatically as I'm mid-teaching): Ugh! Look- It's SNOWING OUTSIDE. Again. WHY? Why is it snowing? It is the end of April and it is still snowing. It is SUPPOSED TO BE SPRING.

Jawa: Last weekend it rained.

Me: I know. But why is it snowing today? Winter is forever. FOREVER winter. That's what we have here.

Jawa: Yes, no summer. No spring. Just winter.

Me: All the time! Winter is never going to end. I just want it to end.

Jawa: You know I'm kidding right?

Me: Yes, I know you're kidding. I'm the one who's not kidding.
