Ma'm, Go to Toilet!

The students at the school are really respectful about some things. They will always get you a chair, even if it means they stand for the rest of the class period. They are offended if you don't cut in front of them in line for food or tea. And they ask permission for everything: to go to the bathroom, to drink water, to come into a room.

The little kids, as they are still learning the intricacies of the English language often omit a few words in their request do things so instead of "May I go to the toilet," it comes out like a command: "Ma'm, go to toilet!" "Ma'm, drink water!"

The funniest part about it is that they are supposed to put their arm straight out with the palm faced down when they say this. The small children, however, put their arms diagonally upwards infront of their face so I always expect them to scream out, "Heil Hitler!" rather than "Ma'm, go to toilet!"
