I was walking down the hall and saw one of my favorite students leaving the nurse’s room, wrapped in a blanket and looking very sad and sick. 

Me: Hi! What’s wrong?

Girl: Uh… uh… [gesturing at her back] magic! magic!

Her friend: Magic! Uh, magic!

Me: What?

Girl: MAGIC! 

Me: AHHHHHHHHH!

I forgot that Korean people call getting your period ‘magic time’! Haha. Such a cute name for a not-at-all-cute thing.
