Yet another reason why my life is actually a pretty good one.

I was just checking my email. Earlier this afternoon, I got an email from one of my fifth-grader Hebrew school students.

hey ian, i wrote a rap, people say small white jewish boys cant rap... WRONG
this is an all american song i worte called: ITS A RULE

Okay, I'm not going to copy out the rap, because it's not mine to publish, but I just wanted to let you all know that ten-year-old kids send me rap songs they wrote. Because that's the way I roll.

Not since 1987 or so, they haven't. Toss this kid a copy of "License to Ill."

That's great. You're doing something right.

That's fantastic. Maybe we should send this kid some of the Rob Banks recordings, so that he could also have an example of short white Irish guys rapping. :)

Oh, never mind. I just realized he's not a "small white jewish boy." LOL! But still....

Attracting rap songs is definitely not a bad thing. (And someone _really_ needs to introduce this poor, deprived child to the Beastie Boys.)

Your students always sound so cool!
