Shell in China

Makes Me Smile Everytime

Okay- this has absolutely nothing to do with China, but I found this picture on the Internet (what would we do without cyberspace?) and every time I look at it, I laugh. Thad insists it is not as funny as I think, but look at it carefully! It is hilarious! The attitude/personality of these little guys just kills me!



Check out the tall, skinny one on the right. He is giving flying a valiant effort. Granted, his wings are all of about three inches long and made of nothing but fluff, but still, a penguin can dream can't he? Well, obviously not, because the short, fat one next to him seems to be more than disgusted with this show of faith in wings! I love the bent wing on the non-existant hip. Plus, the look on his face is pure penguin rage! You can just see his little bird-brain saying, "What the heck to you think you are doing?? Three inch pieces of fluff will never get you off the ice!" (This squat little South Pole dweller is my favorite in the picture! That is 100%penguin attitude!)

As to the other penguins, the one second from the left appears to be sleeping, although this might be a ploy to avoid the wrath of ol' chubby butt next to him. And finally, the first one seems to be maybe not all there mentally. The sucked in neck and goofy expression look like something off the camera after around of "who can take the ugliest picture?" (I think there are certain family members who recall this game from a weekend at the cabin!)

Okay- so maybe I have a little too much time on my hands here in China, but still, this is a wonderful picture! Who knew four little penguins could fluff their way to fame?

About Me

Name: Michelle Ross
Location: Chengxian, Gansu, CN

In America, I teach 8th grade English and reading and really enjoy spending time with middle school students. Some people think I am crazy for it, but Marsing has a great group of kids and I love being a part of their lives as they grow up! Right now I live in China and teach English and teaching methods to students who want to be teachers. I am here through Peace Corps, which I think is a fabulous experience and something that more people should look into doing! The application process can be a bit of a pain, but it is well worth the time and effort. Check out Peace Corps and give something back to the world that has given you so much!! Teaching runs in the family, as just about everyone is involved in education in one way or another. My dad is retired, but he was a teacher, counselor and principal for 30+ years, my mom is an elementary counselor, my sister and husband are both teachers and my brother will finish his teaching degree this next spring! "Those who can, do; those who can do magic, teach!"
