...but not here in Russia. Karen had to be hauled away by the police...(Okaaaaayyyyyy... Not really.)
But 2nd grade teachers really do need a shorter leash-- or so it would seem-- than the rest of us.
This was a really interesting time (Karen not excepted) at the Dom Tvorchestva on Friday, where we had more than a little cultural entertainment, like a concert from these guys in the second photo, a group of traditional Russian folk singers (sort of Oak Ridge Boys-like, in a folksy, old-time Russian sort of way), named Muroma. They were great! I also got yanked out into the spotlight to a) flip a pancake while the traditional Russian childhood scary witch-in-the-woods Baba Yaga was yelling at me, b) dress up like a bogatyr (old Russian knight), replete with helmut and armor and sword (sorry, no photo), and c) danced with a girl dressed in period clothing from the 18th century.
