"Do they throw mayo (may-yoo) into the ocean?" This was the question posed to me by one of my students today. He was referring to the Mexicans of course. Bahahaha! Sad thing is, I totally didn't even get it. We were learning about the history of Cinco de Mayo and then had a little party with pinatas and mexican food. I thought about the question for a few seconds and was clueless so I said, "Hmmm. I wouldn't think so, but I don't know for sure." And then I continued on. About 10 minutes later, a girl sitting next to him just busts up laughing and says, "I get it!" Right when she said that it finally clicked for me too. It was super hilarious especially because it came from this kid who never says anything. In fact, I don't remember him saying anything all year, except for a few questions here and there. The other kids really thought it was funny too.
Joke spoiler: In case you need some extra help, like me :) Things "sink" in the ocean (cinco) and especially mayo (mayonnaise). I LOVE IT!!
