Father: “Hi, I’m here to drop off my son.”
(I notice there is another child with him, who is of Asian descent.)
Me: “Is this other child yours too?”
Father: “Oh no, he’s a foreign exchange student from Japan.”
Me: “Oh! That’s nice. Does he speak English?”
Father: “No, none at all, actually.”
Me: “Well, does your son speak Japanese?”
Father: “Not a lick.”
Me: “How are we supposed to communicate with him? This is an outdoor camp, sir. He could get hurt if he can’t understand directions.”
Father: “I’m sure you’ll be fine. Just point a lot.”
