My students have been learning about Johann Sebastian Bach, and of course, the two things they ALWAYS remember is that he married his cousin and that he had 20 children (only 10 survived to be adults).
We've been watching an educational movie called "Bach's Fight for Freedom", and there is a scene where a boy is having lunch at Bach's house. At the beginning of the scene this is what I heard from a sixth grade student....
"OH MY GOD! IT'S HIS COUSIN!!!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWW!"
I then had to explain that they were just actors, and that it wasn't real. Then he says....
"Wait, so I can marry (name of his cousin inserted here, who is sitting in the same classroom) and that's not illegal?!"
Me = hand slapping forehead
The student's cousin = face turning bright red
Just a typical Monday here.
