You just asked me WHAT?!

My 8 o'clock student and I discuss world topics. She's incredibly smart, speaks great English, and it really fun to talk to.

Today in class she busts out the following... "Mrs. Raetzer, you're German. Since you're German, do you like Adolf Hitler? Because don't all Germans like him?"

My mouth hung open in pure shock, and I am thinking to myself "Did you just SERIOUSLY ask me that?!" Where do you even begin to answer such a question? Not only did a 13 year old jus task me that, but seriously, where do you START?!

At that exact moment, thankfully the bell rang, and I was saved from giving her a much needed non-Korean history lesson.
