Newspapers

Samurai hats made from newspaper are pretty legit, but getting the newspaper for the hats was an adventure. Every day on my way to work, I pass several places that sell newspapers. The craft that I had planned a couple days ago was to make newspaper hats, not just any newspaper hat, but samurai newspaper hats. So that day, I actually stopped at one of the many places to pick up a newspaper. I knew that I would have at least twenty kids making crafts that day with me, so I simply picked up the biggest newspaper there. I asked the store owner how much it was and he spouted off something really fast. Somewhere in all of that I was able to pick out what I thought he said the price was. I was right on what I thought he said the price was and he was right on what the confused look on my face was. “English?” When I said that I did indeed speak English, he was kind enough to show me The Jordan Times, a two page spread in English. He was also a bit put out that I didn't want it, but I was running a bit late to work and didn't want to explain what I was doing with the paper. Besides I could practice reading news articles from what was left over. I didn't think we would use all of it, but we somehow managed to use it all and wish it was a little bit bigger.
