languages

our class was writing reports on south american countries and hailey's country of choice was brazil. i wandered among the desks and watched the students gather information. i got to hailey, who was very excitedly copying something from a book. she looked up and said, "i decided that in my presentation i'm going to teach the class some porgacheese." i did a double take and clarified, "teach them some what?" "porgacheese," she replied. "it's what they speak in brazil."
