I was chatting with some of my students the other day before the start of class and somehow the subject of Winnie the Pooh came up. I can't explain it, random subjects come up like that all the time.
One of the students said, "We think Pooh is dirty."
"You think Winnie the Pooh is dirty," I asked racking my brain for why on Earth they would think a cartoon character beloved by decades of children would be dirty. "Why?"
Their answer: "Because he doesn't wear pants," they said oh-so-seriously.
I threw my head back in a loud guffaw. They all looked at me quizzically unable to figure out what was so funny. I just left it at that and chocked it up to cultural differences.
