Tabitha: There's a boy in the seventh grade who's from Mexico. He doesn't speak much English. So Gabriela's little sister has to follow him around and translate for him.

Me: That doesn't sound right. He should have a paraprofessional of some sort assigned to him. 

Tabitha: Well, usually Bishop Rinehardt goes with him and translates.

Me: I thought Bishop Rinehardt was a math teacher.

Tabitha: He is. But he also speaks Spanish.

Me: Really? I didn't know that!

Tabitha: Mom!! He's the transient bishop!!

Me: Yes, he is.

Tabitha: So??? That means he speaks Spanish.

Me: Tabitha, do you know what "transient" means?

Tabitha: Nope!

Me: I didn't think so.
