Jingle bells...Batman smells...

Did you know that the titled lyrics are international?  Totally. The explanation: Our class is completely international- ranging from China, Iraq, and Kosovo, to Romania, Greece, and America (me!).  And I've left out a few other countries. Being from so many different countries, the only link we all have is the bit of German we've already learned together. Sitting in class, hardly paying attention, someone mentions Christmas songs- in German. To better explain what this expression meant, someone began humming "Jingle Bells." My friend from Romania proceeds to sing, "Jingle bells...Batman smells...Robin laid an egg." I laughed so hard and asked, "THAT'S INTERNATIONAL?!???!!!!" She just smiled and firmly replied, "Yes, of course."
