WWJD

Today during cleaning time I saw a tiny little second year student wearing two neon WWJD bracelets, popular with the more Christian population of America's youth.

Our conversation went like this (mostly in Japanese):

I said "Hey, are you Christian too?" (there are two Catholic students at Minami JHS).
"No," she replied.
"Oh, do you know what those bracelets are?" I asked.
"Cool accessories!" she said.
"I see. Do you know what WWJD stands for?" I said.
"No."
"OK. Jesus was a person. Do you know who Jesus is?"
"No."
"Ah. Christian people believe in Jesus. WWJD is 'What Would Jesus Do.' " I explained.
"Oh. Is that his full name?" she asked.
"Never mind. Where did you buy those?"
"In the sports store!" she said.
"Cool. That's funny. I like the bright green one" I said.
"Oh, thanks! Bye!"

Soon after that, another student came up to me. "How are you?" I asked in English.
His response was, "I like sushi! Bye!"

This is why I love my students.
