Kids Say The Darnest Things....
So I'm an English teacher in S. Korea. My husband is in the army and is stationed here. Commenting about someone's weight in Asia is about as common as saying "you have black hair." It's not like America where it's so taboo to refer to someone as fat. Yesterday I walked into one of my classes of 10-11 year olds and one…

hooks, buttons and zippers
I've yet to drop an actual size, but all of my dress pants have the two hooks, plus a button and the zipper.
