"Hey, Foster! Look at this!" Panda was watching Mom take out some ice to make iced coffee. "Look at this cool piece of ice! It has like an upside-down icicle on it!" I turned around to get a better look. "Panda," I said patiently. "First, ice is supposed to be cool. And second, there's no …
"Hey, Foster, guess what day it is?" I pondered the question for a moment. "Umm. . . I don't know," I replied. "Tuesday?" "Well," Panda replied, "that's a good answer, but think again."

As a teacher (albeit retired) of both Spanish and English as a second language, I know that one of …
"Foster! Is that you?" I was standing in dismay, looking down the street where Panda had disappeared around the corner, when I heard my name. "Foster! What are you doing here in Tokyo?"
