I have a few boys who are learning to speak English, so some things are funny for them that are normal for other children. "Mr. Capp" is funny, particularly the "Capp" part. I have been dubbed "Captain America" (ironically because I had to make them stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance, which I don't normally say). At the risk of my legitimacy as a teacher, I am unsure what to do when six year olds make fun of my name. So I tell them it is inappropriate to make fun of anyone, and then ignore them.
So today in the act of ignoring them, I heard one say "are you captain underpants?"
Why yes, I am. But I can't let them know.
